Festive Fun

Advent Calendar

ffestiveThe optician talked me into buying a pair of varifocals. If I move my head up and down or left and right I get barrel distorted vision. I've got 30 days to see how I get on with them. I asked someone for a second opinion but she couldn't see anything through them. Listen to this before you get too depressed and move on.

The video recorder is chewing up tapes, so I'm going to take it apart. I've already taken the cassettes apart and couldn't see any problem there. Perhaps we'll order Sky+. You can simultaneously record two channels and watch a third programme that is already on the hdd. You can also order it to serial record brilliant programmes like... Well you can get it to serial record.

For want of something better to do I watched a couple of guys install the Christmas lights in a little village down the road. One string of red and yellow 15watt bulbs! You will note that every third bulb is out. How cool and green is that? I can't wait to get back there one evening to join in all the festive fun. Even the charity shop was selling second hand santas.

Mrs B's motor has failed its annual test. Tyres, brakes, exhaust and corrosion. I think the corrosion is the only thing on the car that is original VW. She seems confident that all will be fixed by Friday.

Dog is asleep. He has decided that it saves time if he craps and pees indoors. The crap is always solid. The pee is not. I read all the posts where the good people of the world are redecorating and refurnishing. It must be an expensive business not having an incontinent dog. Dog's excuse is that he is crapuscular. I have tried to explain to him that the word is crepuscular. Come to think of it, his motions are diurnal rather than crepuscular.

Two of our nieces are simultaneously pregnant. Well they are sisters. One is a doctor and one is a pharmacist. You would think that they, of all people, would have mastered birth control.

You may surmise from this that I am feeling just a 'trifle' jaded. Think I'll go back down a post and study those asses some more.
