For Christmas my sister gave me one of those foot mask things where you wear it for an hour and two days later all your skin falls off. Maybe not all of your skin, just the bit of it you've already used and is boring. I have quite nice feet (I was told by a foot fetishist once, though he may just have been trying to continue access) so I don't think there'll be a dramatic difference, but I'm looking forward to being super super smooth.

I had a lovely time in Dundee with mountainkiss and alithea at the V&A. My particular favourite item in the Scottish Design gallery was this:



Which, as I'm sure I don't need to tell you, is an elephant shaped case for a linoleum manufacturer that they commissioned from Paolozzi so that they could send it to 3000 subscribers. Why wouldn't you do that? I adore it, and I want someone to make it into a building that I can live in. A close runner up is this excellent winged tiara:



Sadly I had to leave these behind in the museum, but I sated my desire for spending in a charity shop where I found a "party" version of Trivial Pursuit, which is odd as it seems to counteract the truth that EVERY Trivial Pursuit version is for parties.

Also left behind: my phone, on the train. No train station lost property has had it handed in, which does not bode well. However, because I have whatsapp web active, I can see that it is still connected to 4g so hasn't been found and stripped for parts, so I have some hope that it will show up in the next few days. I'll try the lost property offices again tomorrow. I am fairly sanguine about the loss, but wish I had had my photos backed up. I also keep going to pick up my phone to play Polytopia and being sad that I can't.

Bah, sorry to hear your phone still hasn't turned up. Does bode well that it's still connected though so *fingers crossed*!

And still going this morning! I had no idea that the battery was so good.

I did one of the foot things last year. It couldn't cope with the hard skin on my heels, which is always terrible. It did remove quite a bit of it but not really enough and it removed all the skin on all the bits of my feet that don't need it like my insteps. It was really exciting though.

Yeah, an hour's not enough for my feet. It works pretty well if I leave it on for two.

I left it on longer than I planned as I was surprised by a skype call, so fingers crossed it will have done well.

I love that elephant!

I hope your phone turns up, that is so frustrating.

It's a beautiful, beautiful elephant.
