The Incident Of The Lavender Bath Bomb

 

Blog reader Donell very kindly sent me a packet of lavender Bath Bombs. 
Lavender is calming and soothing and relaxing.
I kept them for tonight’s long, wonderful soak in the bath.
It’s been a nice day all told. 
This evening I had a phone call from one of my Friday quiz team members who strange-as-it-would-seem kinda found me attractive. 
It was nice to have a flirt.
Anyhow back to the bath bombs
I ran my bath
Threw in two hard as rock bath bombs and prepared myself for a lavender overload.
I must admit as I was pottering around the bathroom , I did say to myself that the odour of lavender wasn’t as strong as I had expected but as the water was steaming hot and inviting , I disrobed and plopped bum first into the bath
RIGHT ON TOP OF TWO MARBLE HARD BATH BOMBS
( no one told me they were wrapped in invisible plastic!)
The other side of the village must of heard the screams, and I clambered out of the tub convinced I was mortally wounded. 
With tears in my eyes I could see the packet of lavender bombs on the window ledge 
They were described as being “ calming” 

Hey ho
Calming ....my arse !

  1. It's not that strange for you to be found attractive. Perhaps slightly less so with a bruised derrière x

    2. The utterly gorgeous Phil S. I remember him from the other week and am quite envious. How come I only attract the geriatrics?

  3. Actually they would have calmed your arse, if they were out of the plastic wrapping 😂

  4. John-perhaps the bathbomb advice was intentionally withheld so they could then soothe your derriere personally-(the naughty man)x

  5. Id say they are wrapped so's people have to think twice about eating them, you know, as they do these days. Sorry for the sore bum, that would be like plonking down on a brick.

  9. We've had a number of experiences at our house with invisibly wrapped products. Never a lavender bath bomb, though.

  12. I use many lavender products, especially bed mist, and foot cream. Up at the lake is a very lovely lavender farm which I go too. All made right there too.

  14. I am ashamed to report that I LOL'ed as the saying goes. Give my condolences to your bum. Once you got them unwrapped, I hope that you were able to calm your arse down.

  19. You sat on the bombs? Oh no. Get that wound healed before a date with your new admirer.

    Haven't you heard "Feet first the first time?" It's supposed to protect swimmers from diving where the water is too shallow and getting broken necks, but it works for invisibly wrapped lavender bath bombs, too.
    Hope you had a G&T to restore that calm.

    Hugs!

  22. I'm not at all surprised that someone from the quiz team found you attractive, your not only handsome but have a kind face as well.
    What a lovely present by blog reader Donell sorry about the mishap but it looks like there are lots left for you to enjoy.

  23. John, John, John... I knew something was going to happen. Only You. You have written so many funny stories about you and your Bathroom Adventures.
    Gud Dugs sending woofs. . . . . They went to the groomers and Agatha Had her first Spa Day with herbal body wrap.

  24. Gosh; I remember bath salts and bath bombs from the 60's. They were usually given as Christmas presents. These days I stick to bubble bath.

  25. How very British of me, I sniggered at your post, how we love an old fashioned comedy, I could see a saucy postcard of you jumping out the bath.

  29. The moral of this tale is to swirl your balls around the bathtub until fully dissolved before immersing yourself! Sorry you have a sore bum John!

  30. Oh dear. I'm wiping tears from my eyes as I laugh John.

    Hope it was eventually relaxing.
