    Morning forkers,

    There was a queue of cold birds waiting for breakfast this morning. I'm glad to get back inside, and am now typing with frozen fingers. But there's some nice warm rain on the way for tomorrow.

    Spent yesterday afternoon watching daytime TV. Some of the shopping channels had products I'd never been aware of. I was impressed by some fantasy images painted by one Josephine Wall...

    Dozens more like that here: http://www.josephinewall.co.uk/latest.html

    The idea is that you buy these and similar images on sheets of paper (or print them out on a computer) and cut them up, and make things with them. It's called Decoupage. This is a decoupage sheet...

    They also had decoupages for fantasy cottage garden designs, from different painters...

    Junior Apprentice tonight. Tonight will be the penultimate episode, so expect a major bloodletting.

  • Good morning Dove, Gary,  Jo, Pam and anyone else who's about.

    I was up early this morning after a really good night's sleep, unusual for me.

    That fanatasy picture is beautiful, will look at link in a mo. Very cold here this morning, cat refuses to go out, but who could blame herimage

    Ironing planed this morning then visit to Mum, called on Tuesday to see her only to be told she was seeing Nativity play at local school with some of the other residentsimage she's 99 and still gallavanting.

    Catch you later.

    Chris.

    Morning Dove, sorry didnt reply before, glad that you're improving. Daughter is also up & had a small breakfast & watching breakfast TV!  image

    Gary- those pics very reminisant of 70s- that dates me!

    Have rebooted pc, had oodles of updates installed etc & so far so good. Really brass monkeys out there today -4C!

    Ooh, breakfast allowed now. J.

    Morning all. Still cold here but not much frost.

    Alarming to hear how well people are doing with their Christmas prep. I really ought to buy some cards...

    Gary, nice, I may have to change my avatar again. Jo, I see exactly what you mean about 70s.

    I always think decoupage must be more fun to do than to own. Like beautiful knitted toys that you can't play with. But that's just my opinion.

    Geoff, choccy glitterball.

    Still to get upstairs! Daughter gone back to bed, plus bowl- just in case! image

    Have managed to deice the back gate lock, so could take fresh water & food for birds. WD40 now on lock which will keep 'twiddling' as the day goes on.

    Right, really need to get my act together. No, I do not need to go looking for a new top for the w/end.......... J.

    I typed 'apostrophe fairy' into a tax-avoiding search engine and, believe it or not, found this:
