    Hello again - I've been busy eating Christmas pudding with vanilla ice cream, so I've only just seen a wonderful vision of a really yummy chocolate cake. We ate the Christmas pudding because on The Day we were just too full after our scrumptious dinner.

    Nice to hear from NiteOwl - you are still in our thoughts even when you don't post. Poor old Jess, how they hate those lampshade s. Good that its healing up well. Rita - Did laugh about your story of the toy in the tree. We are in the middle of packing everything up, and each year I try to put a couple of things away for the charity shop so that the amount stashed under the stairs doesn't grow. Unfortunately, this year a well meaning friend gave me a present of a cute little wobbly carol singer figure, so its not going to be less this year!

    Is it supposed to wobble, or was that a surprise 'bonus' feature?

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

    LOL Clare - he's supposed to wobble, he has a spring hidden under his red jacket! At the slightest thing, off he goes!! We have several items which break into song when switched on or triggered by sounds - I nearly dropped the roast potatoes on Christmas Day because we have a robin on a perch, wearing a red Christmas hat, in the kitchen. I had banged the oven door hard and he started cheeping Jingle Bells, made me jump as I had forgotten all about him!

    LOL!!  To put such a thing into your kitchen, Lindy, is tempting fate!

    Whilst on the subject, I think the thing which made me laugh the most this year was when we pulled our crackers (remember my tale of the great meal we had one lunchtime? - we brought the crackers home with us). We both tried unsuccessfully to put on our paper hats, but they were child sized ones! Collapsed in giggles over my dinner!!!

    Well, I've eaten the last peanuts out of the bowl & my OH has gone upstairs, so I guess I should say Goodnight. Hope that Diane managed to get that new heater and is keeping warm.

    Good night, Lindy.
