22nd December

I managed to catch up with Annie Mouse and CKX today in Liverpool. It was touch and go whether we would make the 30 odd mile trip ... it was blowing a blizzard when I got up at 8.. then it cleared up. Took the dog for a hike and the snow started again.. it was so bad the dog wanted to come home.
As you will know 70s is not for giving up so I scraped the snow and ice off the car, warmed it up [whilst Teen delivered Christmas cards to the neighbours] ... and off we went. We got 300 meters from home and I thought this is stupid.. (as I couldn't see a thing out of the car except snow)... so we turned around .. parked up the car and headed for the train.
We had a great day despite the battering hailstones that decided to turn the roads into skating rinks.

Liverpool has been invaded by Penguins this Christmas ... just like the Superlambanana and the Cow Parade in Manchester

Oh and I managed to get in the act with one of then

So day 22 of Advent!!

I am sooo loving this site ... make your own Bayeux tapestry... oodles of fun

now this You Tube Clip is about about 'poor Orphan Fanny'..... Oh those days before PC and using animals to perform .....


Some cracker humour

Q: What does Bob Geldof sing in bed?
A: Duvet Know It's Christmas!

Q: Which fruit does the Royal Family eat at 3pm each Christmas day?

Love this as I was awaiting questions but it was not as simple as that .... take a look see

Oh my, you do have lots of penguins and they are so grand. I have fallen a bit in love with your puppy. Such a darling puppy. Merry Christmas and enjoy your time away from the job.

Those penguins are so cute. Reminds me of when I went to Taos and the whole town was awash with painted horse statues
