What a shame.

Having stripped the wallpaper from over the fireplace, it seems that there used to be a nice sized mantelpiece instead of the current revolting stone thing. Perhaps in another 30 years or so, we'll have come to like what we have now. Either that, or we'll have torn it out and put something nice in.

A Festival for the Rest of Us

It's Festivus time, where better to buy your Festivus Pole from, than Festivuspoles.com, where the true spirit of Festivus is shown. Here you can learn the rituals of Festivus, including the Airing of Grievances, and the Feat of Strength. Just remember, don't decorate it.

They're not quite as lively as they look here, but nonetheless, it would be a bold move to give over the end walls to this kind of colour. Still, in for a penny, in for a pigment. The children have both been sick today, and we're just waiting for the chicken pox spots to emerge, hopefully now rather than just before christmas.
