America is back on-line. All well stuffed and slightly fatter by the sound of it. Bet they feel like us at Christmas – and don’t want to see another piece of turkey.

Himself decided last night that it would be a good idea to go into Stourport to look at the Christmas lights that were turned on at the weekend. I humoured him. OK, he loves Christmas lights and is already planning to start putting ours up on Saturday. It was quite nice to be honest, we parked up and walked through town down towards the river. We brought a portion of chips and a couple of cans of pop and sat on one of the benches in the dark to eat them. Yes, the eccentric English.

Himself decided that we should have a look at the basin, which they’ve been developing. It was no use trying to tell him we wouldn’t see anything – he’s a man. So we walked down past the fair, the river is bursting it’s banks in places and was extremely fast flowing, but he was convinced that we'd get round and be able to come out by the car *rolls eyes*.

He still won’t listen when we came to a sign on a barrier that said: Canal tow path close. Look, he said, the barrier had a path by the side of it - must be this way.

So there we are in the pitch black walking on uneven ground between the river and the canal – I did ask him when we came to the sign that said: Danger Deep Water, whether he’d had enough of me and decided to have the insurance money instead.

He admit defeat evidently, but not before he’d tripped up a step that we couldn't see. So we turned round and went back the way we had come.



OK, not one of my better photo's, but it was very dark. You can just make out the railing going down the middle of the picture, with water either side where the river has overflowed.

My friend Kristy sent me some photo's this morning. She has a herd of electric reindeer on her lawn. Himself will turn green with envy.

I had one of those mad moments this morning while writng this, beta appeared to have gone wrong. It wasn't showing the font or font size, infact half the tool bar was missing. I saved my work, logged off and back on again several times, still the same - it was by pure chance I then noticed that I was in the Edit Html screen instead of Compose. One of theses days I learn not to fiddled!
