Three
nice surprises yesterday:-
Got
the last tree in Tesco's half price, £12.50 not the £25 I was expecting to pay.
Mind you the needles are dropping like buggery so it may be bald by the time
it's up.
The
secretary of Jesmond WI called with a Xmas card, booklet and two lovely little
lavender bags, which I have put in my nightie drawer in the hope that the scent
helps me sleep.
WillFixit phoned and is coming around this afternoon to look at the bathroom window.
Cousin Daisy Love the comment
about tree.

Miss Doozer Does
hairspray work to keep the needles on?
Bentonbag No idea, but
seeing as the Harmony hairspray I've got is decades old not sure if it would
work. Also proximity to candles might be
a problem.
Miss Doozer Ah yes. No
naked flames...
Bess Cavalier When we have
a real tree we water it with full fat lemonade.
McChurch Only
respiration will keep the needles on. If the stump is dry the water column is
probably broken. Still, it makes a great
frame for the deccies. I got a Nordman
in B&Q last week for £9.50! Cut 75mm
off the stump, drilled it to fit on the pin in the tree holder and stuck it in
a bucket of water in the greenhouse. It
seems to be thriving.
Mrs Quilt Spot on advice
horticulturally but Christmas tasks piling up time is not so likely!
McChurch Yes and I appreciate not everyone
has a tree saw, greenhouse or drill ! Merry Christmas.

Fortunately
Ferretfingers is a dab-hand with a saw and Thunderthighs built for carrying
trees around. He’s also tall enough to
just pop cards onto the strings, saves me going up and down steps or furniture
mountaineering.
