Do Not Touch!
Have managed to produce some sort of Christmas decoration ensconced on the kitchen island. However I did not think Husband had noticed - the usual mugs of half-finished tea were deposited in their usual place . . . . . . . . yes, you have guessed it . . . . . . . . .on the kitchen island. Have banned such behaviour and Husband's forfeit is to make a table decoration. I can tell you, this will be worth waiting for (not)!

This Is A Bit Sad!
All you arty-tarty people out there please suggest how I can make a good table decoration out of fruits and leaves. Thanks in advance (hopefully).

Getting The Hang Of It
Husband is not a very good DIY-er at the best of times - he would be the first to admit it - so I am not being unkind (am I?).
After one picture fell off the wall about 10 days ago - smashed glass everywhere etc - we thought "Oh Well".
Yesterday evening whilst us old wrinklies were sitting with our feet up watching TV there was an almighty crash in the hall. Another picture had flung itself off the wall.
Husband has spent the morning replacing all picture hooks with "self exploding" screws. Our house has these thin plasterboard walls and we were very careful to use the right picture hooks. We conclude that the house has dried out and the pinholes have enlarged over the past two years. I came home from my usual swim to find Husband had just finished the job so I gave him a pat on the back (then suggested he made us some lunch) (no not really!!!).

Benenden Bollard Bashers
Yesterday Husband and I decided to go to Bath. To achieve this we take a short cut to reach the Park and Ride at Lansdown. At short cut there was a tatty little notice that said "Road Closed for Road Cleaning - 9.30am to 3.30pm". The time was exactly 9.30am. Husband was ready to make huge detour - "No", I said, "It is still 9.30am". With that I jumped out of car and removed bollards - same thing at the end of the short cut. Voila! all done and dusted.
Climbed aboard to Park and Ride Bus and met by chance one of Husband's tennis doubles partners whom I have not met before. She said to me "I gather you went to Benenden". Then ensued a conversation about school etc etc. (I hated the place). She then complained how she had had to reach the Park and Ride area through streams of traffic. I said, in a loud voice, "Oh, I removed the bollards". There was a gasp and titters from many other passengers on the bus who had obviously suffered the same traffic jams.
At Benenden they taught you how to be independent and resourceful (forget about the lessons)!!

Dancer, Prancer, Chancer . . . . . . . . Whatever!
The quizmaster, due to work commitments, was unable to join in the local panto this year and was sorely missing it - so instead he performed his own "Christmas Carol" at the end of the quiz - all this entertainment for a £1 entry fee - a good community spirit in our village.
Oh well - I am pondering whether to join "The Eggheads"
