It is not just you. It drives me frickin’ NUTS!

The fun at the rugby is, in the a Capella verse, how many people sing the flattened 7th and how many sing the bagpipe friendly version.

Ah, OK. Its a different way of working to traditional ling strings of lights, but we managed to make the run pretty discreet- it goes back to that “making sure you get long enough runs” thing, otherwise you may run out before you get to the bottom of the tree! The biggest issues are up by the ring.

… works OK but is probably worth cable tying to the trunk. These are the ones we got, but I can’t remember what length offhand:

Yeah we got some of those last year. They’re pretty bright, in that LED way, but they do the job. They dressed OK for us but we’re a bit random in our decorating. I’d say to get a longer run than you think you need cos wiggling the strings about takes a surprising amount. The top ring thing (cont…)

Oh I don’t know… 😵‍💫

Siouxie and The Banshees’ version of “Dear Prudence”

Got to give a shoutout to Affinity. Version 2 was great. Not a drop in replacement though, so a learning curve.

Then they were bought by Canva. Now they have just released Version 3 which is FREE! There may another shoe to drop but so far it looks good.

Lots of introductory vids on YouTube.

Someone once told me about the Bummelzug - a train that ambles along stopping at every out of the way station between A and B. The very opposite of the express, desperate to get to the end of the line as soon as possible.

Total confidence in Starmer. Backing him all the way.

Iain Banks’ “The Crow Road” opens with this.

Only if staffed by six year olds 😆

Six year olds are allowed a GREAT DEAL of leeway in this regard 😃🎅
