Classy Wreath!

I just can't help but wonder how long it lasts before it starts to smell.


I do love sprouts though. Do you?

It's December!

The festive season is upon us and I am very excited. This year I've been thinking about what to get for people and, of course, myself.

One tree appeared up in our street over a week ago. Newly moved in and clearly unaware of the Avenue etiquette. No trees before December.  One house fires theirs up on December 1st. I can imagine the desperation to decorate must be overwhelming. We're more laid back here. Tree goes up mid December, after all, Christmas is not just about commercialisation but about Baby Jesus and giant inflatable snowmen. Freaky.



I bought an advent calendar, a proper cardboard one where you break nails trying to open windows. Mum not impressed because so far window 1 had Mary, Joseph and the baby. That should have been on the last day apparently.  Ah well, trying to make a point in my stand against commercial Christmas. 

Trying to work out how to drop box photos from my iPhone.  I saw these and saw dollar signs:


And then I couldn't be bothered. Should have though shouldn't I.

I have heard of a new American confectionary via Bartlam - Ding Dong. *snickers* it's up there with 'fanny packs' and 'Walmart,'. Actually I'd like to go to Walmart.  It' as one of those places where you can get anything. What can't you get there? Besides human organs?

With the festive season usually comes the sickness, both viral and alcohol induced. Someone saw a gap in the market:



Well I'm off to do play a new game called 'froad'. No idea, Amazon app for android giving away a free app a day. Fabulous!
