The Return of The Triffid


Christmas is coming, and the snow has prematurely been and gone. Well it has down here, beside the sea. 

Just in case you been a wondering, I been pretty busy this week. It's taken me the best part of five days to pull out me Christmas decorations, sort ‘em, place ‘em, and discard the excess packaging.

Since moving into me perch, I've had to be very creative with ma storage solutions, which means me yuletide boxes were jammed at the back of the hall cupboard and under me bed. Took some huffing and yanking, I can tell yer, to get them all out. Phew!  

Anyhow, due to height restrictions, in a previous residence, me eco friendly, seven foot triffid hasn’t seen the light of day since 1999. Thankfully, ma new perch has a higher ceiling, and it’s a delight to have it up again.

  2. Well, if a girl's preference is for a big one, then I guess she's entitled to it.

  6. I know, I know, Valance. Size aint everything, but I want to make sure Santa will see me tree and stop by.

    Got a few red baubles and trinkets, Patsy. You're more than welcome to come see. I'm having a ponder about doing summit over the holidays and will drop you a line if I get a proper plan of action.

    Thanks, Sweetie Vernal Zephyr and Kracken for dropping in. Doing me best to get in the spirit of things, and still recovering from an action packed trip up to London. Plenty of huffin' and puffin' trying to get through the crowds in Hyde Park at the Winter Wonderland.

    "Day of the Triffids" is a pretty good book, Kracken, even if you're not a Sci Fi fan.

  9. I hope he does, JJ. And I hope he brings you everything you wish for. Or some chocolate, at least.

  10. Thanks, Bernie. The banter is on account of that darned cowboy winding me up most of the time. And as fer shrinking, don't let that hold you back, Bernie.

    I got my wish from last year, Valance, and a bit more besides. Never thought, back then, that I'd be where I am now, that's fer sure!
