Does God have a sense of humour?

When I was about seven I was living in Cyprus opposite a pomegranate grove connected to a convent. One day I wandered into their grove and temptation got the better of me. I reached up and picked the biggest pomegranate I'd ever set eyes on. It was a...

All excited with my bargains today......

....it was only when I got home I realised I might be getting old. I was (and am) full of joy at a leopard onesie, some velcro-fastening bootee slippers, and a nice old-fashioned teapot. Ten years ago it would have been a pair of leopard print stille...

That's the way to do raffle prizes....

OH won a cheeseboard selection and biscuits in a Christmas Eve draw. Sadly they hadn't bought the cheese yet! Yesterday he was given a T***o selection with "Merry Christmas" labels on it. What's the betting it was bought, reduced, on Boxing Day?

Do you sing when you're alone?

I'm sat here listening to the bloke upstairs - who hath of strong drink partaken - giving it some "It's All Over Now". He sounds very happy. I often sing, usually with adapted words relating to the cats (The Doors' "Come on baby light my cats", Queen...

Home-made cottage pie from that load of 13 I made on 27th.

Fireworks + Doh!

These damn fireworks - it's getting to be beyond a joke. I live opposite a pub and the bloody things have been going off since 5.00 p.m. It's no joke. A few, or several, yes if you're having a firework display, but not for six hours. That's a lot wor...

What special delights will you be having this evening.

We are having, Chinese for me and Indian for OH and son. Not takeaway as it is a bit expensive to get from 2 different ones, as I am not keen on Indian it's a bit too heavy for me. Enjoy whatever you are having.

Odd New Year Event

What is the best printer please?

Currently using a Brother, but it is giving up the ghost. Had an Epson before. Think possibly HP or Canon? I will only use it for my best photos, the Brother will do for ordinary printing. Thanks for any input I receive.

Life/death time clock - DON'T OPEN IT! Pandora's box!

Browsing through the web looking for a data clock I came across a life/death expectancy "clock" where you enter your basic details and up comes you expected year of demise. I did it just for fun/curiosity and now regret it. According to national stat...

Onesies

Have you? Would you?

Gooey ring tones

I was on a bus once, and loud and clear came the chimes of Rock a bye Baby. The recipient deliberately let it ring and ring."Oh, Anthea, Dhaarling. How are you? So nice to hear your lovely voice ..."Too much, I ripped my hearing aids out otherwards I...

Oddest present?

I got a U-shaped hot water bottle, that apparently you wear round your neck!

Looking for NEXT years's presents!

Well, and why not? I can't possibly compete with my very lovely sister-in-law who humbles me by swamping me out with birthday and Christmas presents, but she let me into her secret - she starts looking for next year's presents the day we go back home...

Tea for the germ ridden.

I am having soup, I have such a sore throat that soup is the easiest thing to have. OH is having an omelette.
