That's reminded me. OH bought me a set of solar powered garden lights- those on a 'spike' that you put into a border/along a path. They're still at the back of the shed. Now that the tree gone the garden is a lot more sunny at the top end, nearest the house, so must fish them out for next yr.
I have solar lights on spikes in back garden, 2 lilies and 2 butterflies(fairies) in the fairy garden. I thought the lilues had stopped working but found that once I'd cleared border of surplus grass plants they now shine.
Not sure if I should have brought them in for winter or not though
Still have Christmas wreath to make, out all day tomorrow so I guess it will be Friday.
Yay, heating engineer has been, heating is now on full blast in my office!
Jo, big hugs. I think my youngest son needs some psychiatric help, but he won't accept that he does and its not something you can make people do unless they are willing to do it voluntarily.
And my biggest sympathies for having a December birthday! At least yours isn't too close to Christmas. One of my friends had her son on Boxing Day. Very bad planning (or perhaps there wasn't any!)
Lottie- yours is nearer to Christmas than mine I think. My daughter was due last week in December. I knew that having a December baby was bad planning (IMO) so so she was a wee bit early!! That's why she blames me for the lack of about 1inch in height!
I always sent proper birthday pressies, & small Christmas ones, to a friend's children. 1 born on 28th & t'other 31st! Never forgot those 2, but their younger brother, born in September...........
Still not a peep from boiler. Dont think engineer re-pressurised it again. I know that when I kept checking last night, when it really was noisy, the pressure was well inside the proper limits- I have worked that bit out ok......
Need inspiration for meal now. Cooking for 1 again. J.
Evening all - bit late reporting for duty as I've been doing my voluntary day in school. Took well over an hour to get there this morning instead of 20 mins - found out later it was due to 8 accidents on one stretch of dual carriageway (both sides) caused by black ice. Sorry I missed advent competition, but my guess would have been wrong anyway . You have lovely chooks Geoff - do all the girls say that.
Hope Becks & Jess are sufficiently cuddled and feeling a bit better today. Think the presents today are a ring and some sweeties. Cyber hugs for you too Jo. x

Ok, Geoff.....we're waiting!!?
My youngest's Birthday is 27th December
Ok the clue-was "close to home"-this thread is Fork Handles-Four Candles
The answer is candle-hence close to home
I thought it was easy
-it is a Christmas advent calendar
Lottie- yours is nearer to Christmas than mine I think. My daughter was due last week in December. I knew that having a December baby was bad planning (IMO) so so she was a wee bit early!! That's why she blames me for the lack of about 1inch in height!

My daughter was due on 1st Jan she arrived 2 weeks late so every Christmas day we get "It's only 3 weeks till my birthday!"
Any way Geoff 'close to home' has so many derivations!
What an incredilbly windy dog I have today
Yes mine's close to Christmas (20th) which is why I have two! Not cheating really as only celebrate once a year.
Geoff, bad planning on your part as well.
We obviously weren't thinking laterally when guessing the choccie.
Ok, off home now, got to pick up OH on the way - he's got a cold and isn't cycling at the moment. Can't say I blame him!
Will try to make it easier tomorrow-perhaps,maybe
Our garden is like blackpool illuminations at night with solar lights
Off to Guildford again tomorrow night to see Alan Davies in stand-up-quite looking forward to it.
