show and tell: medicine chest

When the command came to Show and Tell your medicine cabinet I thought I would skip it. I mean, my medicine cabinet is a little embarrassing. It is not even a cabinet as such. It's an old ice cream container. Plus I considered that a medicine cabinet and its contents do not make for interesting blogging. But hey, I have posted about worse before. And She Who Must Be Obeyed must be, um, obeyed.

So here it is.



When I dragged it out of the bathroom cupboard to photograph it, I remembered that during a big clean up the other week I had tossed all the little frogs, sharks, turtles and lobsters that had been residing in the bathtub into the icecream container.

So. We have zinc cream, Vicks vapour rub, savlon, Stingose (because I live in Australia and many things sting), burn cream, an asthma pump for those attacks brought on when I forget that champagne gives me asthma, and sundry other boring items.

But all charmingly accessorised with sea-dwelling creatures.


P.S.
... some entertainment recommendations.

In the past week I've seen two fabulous things. Firstly, the film Look Both Ways, Sarah Watt's first feature, starring William McInnes. I can say in all honesty it's the best film I've seen in years.

Also, The Odyssey which is on at the Malthouse Theatre. Once in a lifetime, must-see theatre. I had one or two quibbles with it (being a classics student 'n all) but overall, it was bloody brilliant.
