5th December

It is the 5th of December and loads of my neighbours have lit up their houses already.. mine looks like Scrooges house in all the illuminations ... due to lots of things I won't be able to put any decorations up until I finish work for the festivities on the 18th.. I am thinking I should just do this in the mean time

So here we are on day 5 of Advent.

I have a Twitter account [70steen] but I didn't know that Big Ben had one too .... BONG .. maybe I should follow but BB is not much of an interactive conversationalist??

Love this You Tube clip ... big squirrel trying to teach 'ickle squirrel to climb... [click here]

Not sure about today's game as I am rubbish at quickie clicking on the mouse .. tried it a few times and got way eliminated by aliens ....

Yes there really is a Lion in that side car..

and finally the joke ............

Q: How do find Will Smith when he's lost in the snow?
A: You look for the fresh prints.

I like that one lol :-)

5th December 1979

Wednesday 5
Went swimming this afternoon
Sam phoned in the morning
& 2x in the evening
Prepared cookery stuff for tomorrow
Sam isn't coming up this weekend


During this advent lead up to Christmas, my individual 'day' headers have been scanned from last years Christmas cards.

I am a bit anal over this as I keep last years cards to remind me who to send cards to in the current year .. then they are recycled.

I am so strapped for time when dismantling Christmas I don't note down new addresses in cards and I can never remember the kids names of some of my neighbours ( I live in a street where everyone send you a card!)

Anyway as I was going through them I came across this one.... my oh my I had quite forgotten Daddy Papersurfers impact on the world .. he even has personalised cards ..













So day 5 ... only 20 days to the BIG day ... I so love this link that CKX found. In his email to me he describes it as ' a classic advert website with a genius reworking of an old tune. Reminds me of old cinema adverts' Indeed Pearl & Dean eat your heart out Oh and DP I hope it doesn't make you fret too much!!! The game ... well it is pants.... well it probably isn't but I can't do it as hard as I try .. teen could though (bah humbug!!!)
So I found a game I could do .. thank you Walkers crisps. I put Snowy's head on it he looked so funny :-)
