These are the days of miracles and wonder

On my-- what? third? fourth? rereading of Rivers of London it occurs to me that the action would be clearer if I could actually see what St Paul's Church and Covent Garden and the Royal Opera House looked like in relation to each other. And lo! Streetview appears and shows me just that. For once, much more useful than a map.

The major condom manufacturers are packaging and selling lube these days. And not only lube, I discover while eying the oddly large boxes in the 'family planning' section. Bullet vibrators, finger vibrators, and something I haven't quite figured out but am not about to pay 29.95 plus 13% sales tax to unravel. But it's cheering to know that if I get a yen for these things, I can buy them at Loblaws at the end of my street.

*Oh* LJ. I wouldn't use your new style anyway-- 'Paid reposts'? Dear god. But the text in new is pixillated beyond bearing, and drop-down tag completion *and* the preview function are missing from both versions. Cut tags now take you to a new screen-- no more expand and collapse. Gah. Get it out of beta *before* you release it, twits.

Yes ... the charming "Vermont Country Store," which mostly specializes in no-longer-available cosmetics and candies, plus things like Lanz of Salzburg flannel nightgowns and oilcloth tablecloths, now has "personal massagers." The print catalog is rather coy in the descriptions, but the website just says, plainly, "Sexual Wellness."

I've seen the massagers around for quite some time in pharmacies near the checkout, usually at about eye-level to a four-year old. :) Prices from 11.90 for a one-use ring, to 21-ish for the more interactive (for two people) but still disposable-looking ones. If I get one, it would probably be to scare the cats. They're pussies about new things that move. :D

Oh dear. What a tempting place that place looks. Flannel nightshirts and all. If I come into money I know where it will go...

I opine that disposable vibrators are pointless, esp if they cost 11.90. Sturdy unbreakable vibrators that conquered the mighty wilderness is what's wanted.

Nod, yes, this is why I really need to get my act together and make a Peter Grant's London in the style of Sherlock Holmes' London. <3
