Mellon - as in Ulster-American Folk Park.
Why is it always the children of immigrants, often from here that want to pull the ladder up behind them.
This is me & my American relatives at the Mellon Ancestral Homestead this summer.
Happier times.

I spent my afternoon removing yet more skirting boards.
I am *convinced* they actually started this house with the skirting boards & built the rest of the house around them.

Trying to decide which is worse.
Painting a radiator & skirting board this shade of green, or the fact the radiator, skirting board & old door were previously blood red.

Myra DuBois was outstanding.
Security at the Limelight was a bit OTT though. Trust me Mr Security Man stood flexing your muscles, Myra can deal with a heckler much more effectively than you can.
It actually made the audience nervous participating in the bits where she clearly wanted participation

Meg gets all the empty butter dishes in this house, (once all the usable spread has been scraped out of them).
She then licks them clean & hoards them in her bed, where by some magical process they become currency by which she buys our Christmas & Birthday presents.

The tiler has been here a week, the joiners here since Tuesday, the window fitter was back today, and the painter arrives tomorrow.
I am *so* ready for this to be over, but at the same time, tonight feels like Christmas Eve.

If I had accidentally left something incriminating lying around when a workman was in the house, I certainly wouldn’t want to see it on facebook.
The post is presumably fake & a joke, but the fact he’d even post that means I wouldn’t give him my business.

You’d think David Cameron’s sister-in-law might actually have a basic understanding that we haven’t had a ‘King & Queen of England’ in quite some centuries, though no surprise to see a Little Englander mentality from her - would normally expect better from @the-independent.com though
