Surprise Me

What will I buy this month to treat myself to something nice? Let’s see if I can find a nice surprise with something I have never been given  before or else really need.

Forest products is an intriguingly vague sounding idea. These could be mushrooms, wooden furniture, fruit products or even animal pelts I guess. I could maybe even turn my living room into a forest and have some birds chirping away about the place. Alternatively I could ditch the house and go and live in the forest. This sounds like quite a good idea and I can almost imagine myself lying under a tree and listening to the little animals scurry past me.

Trips to allergy clinics don’t sound like the most exciting sort of gift in the world but it is something I need to do at some point. A few years back the hospital did some tests after my lip had swollen up like a small zeppelin. I was given about 25 pages worth of foods and cosmetic products to avoid but I don’t know where the list is now. I know that 7up is ok but sprite isn’t for some reason and that the more E numbers something has the more chance there is of my lip looking like it got attacked by a swarm of angry bees carrying syringes full of botox.

I just wrote about my zeppelin lips and then realised that there are some details on here about said magnificent flying machines. A surprise trip on a zeppelin, a space rocket, a time travelling Delorean or an elephant would do me nicely. If I need to settle for a bike I will but I would at least like to make a plea for one of the other ones first of all.

I have never tried (or even seen) Voortman cookies. However, the name alone is enough to interest me. Actually ,the other day I made some scones and they turned out rather spiffing even if I say so myself. I might start making more snacks myself and eventually turn my hand to making cookies. Having a big supply of biscuits or cookies in my house certainly sounds like a dangerous sort of idea but it will be a good test of my willpower if nothing else.
