Just been out to feed the birds. It's nice and mild today.
Quite a few people will have similar ideas about auspicious lottery tickets. But how do you get 6 different numbers from '12' and '12' and '12'. If a lot of people use those numbers and a ticket does come up, the payout won't be a mega jackpot. Though to win something and share it, is better than winning nothing at all.
Did my Christmas cards yesterday. Bought them from Sainsbury's on Friday. The cost of the stamps was THREE TIMES the price of the cards. I noticed that the cards were all made in China. I guess the price of cards has actually gone down during recent years, more than the postage has gone up.
Hope everyone is well. I overslept as well Jo, was up in the night as I couldn't sleep, had a cuppa and read for a bit then went back to bed. Didn't wake again until 9.30 when OH brought me a cup of tea, went back to sleep and woke up to find it cold. Ah well it is the day of rest, so they say.
Our friends at Nottingham gave us a load of holly, but the birds have eaten all the berries so I think I will be looking for artificial ones, I think you can still get them.
Not planning on doing much today, although the weather has improved, so might get to have a look round the garden. The twisted hazel could do with a prune.
Still thinking about the choccy clue. will be back later when my brain is in gear.
Slow Flo this mornig. Brain and body only just got into 2nd gear.
In my universe, Geoff. Thieving is a magpie, Christmas bird is goose. Perhaps it's a woman thing. Can't think of anything else myself. Maybe when I get into third gear...
Gary, if I did the lottery I'd be looking at factors and multiples of 12 for starters. It's a good number for investigation esp. with primary age children, I found.
Ooh, Holly Berry, what's our Lilian going to do now? All hell will break loose over Christmas I suppose.

Morning forkers,

Chris
I was going to say Magpie too
I shall go for goose.
I am going to make my christmas cards today,
I was shocked by the cost of stamps.
Oh goodness me-second clue-is- think laterally-not literally
In what universe is a magpie and goose a thieving Christmas bird
-some of you have got the answer staring you in the face.
Now- second goes are allowed today -because it is Sunday
Archers. More shopping today, off to Costco.
My guess is gold.

Well it is not a magpie or a goose-nor a magoose or goopie
