Blogger has had a breakdown - the toolbar's missing, so I can't upload the photos yet. It just keeps saying errors on page.

Update: Photos now added.


Himself has been in his element the whole weekend – it’s the first week of December so we’ve started to decorate the house. It took the best part of yesterday and he’s still not finished.

He spent two hours on Saturday testing all the light bulbs, which were fine when we packed them away into the 10 large plastic boxes that we store them in, in the attic. I nearly got flatted when be passed them down to me on Friday night, I don’t remember the boxes being that heavy when we put them up there.

After using up his supply of bulbs it meant a trip to the garden centre on Saturday in order to restock and look at their lights. Why anyone would want a 25ft tall snowman beats me. Where the hell are you going to put it?


We came away with our light bulbs plus a new rope light, bless him, sometimes you can’t say no – even though we’ve enough lights to decorate next door’s, never mind our house.

It never fails to amaze me that even after testing every hanging icicle before freezing to death while Himself up them up, when we switched them on last night – some of the bulb had blown again. So Himself – there his lights – then had to test everyone in the sequence until he found the rogue light. Unfortunately he was once again under the impression that I was his builders mate.

Strong winds here on Saturday and I’m not talking about Tracy. It blew the door and window out of the greenhouse, not that it’s used for plants or flowers – it’s just somewhere to store the duck’s food, which I keep in a plastic dustbin. So no harm done. It also carried the Patio table down the whole length of the garden and stripped the remaining leaves from the trees.

Craig went to see the Welsh Rally on Saturday and sent me some pictures. I think he had a small problem with timing – but there are some good shots of trees.
