    Well, I have been busy again, went to see Darren Hayes on Friday night with the wife, made me realise just how far xfactor is from true talent.

    It really, really is. That's why I start grooming children's parents when they're about 10 and working with them from there. I can mould them to how they should be this way!
    Electrician has finished all work in the house, kitchen is finished and plaster is in next week to do the living room, happy days indeed.

    Beers on CK! The first house is always the one with the best feeling.

    come and spend a few hours with me. I can do genetics :D

    Ah there's a problem there missk. If I was to come spend a few hours with you, then I'd be wanting a trip to Choccywoccy and extensive shoping for new household implements to compliment the breadbin... Genetics would take a back seat. There are times that my x chromosomes just can't help kickin' in.

    Incidentally, how was London and the bus/train journey from hell? Worth going?

    i'm sure we can manage some shopping with a tutorial in genetics.

    London was fab. I did have a good time, bought a beautiful bag from the sunday upmarket. I do remember that I get car sick on coaches though.

    Voila, one succah! It's much taller than most succahs, because the back door opens outwards into it, and the door is around 8 feet tall.

    Michaels, please note the use of laurel leaves. Pastures, the roof has to be made of natural substances, and you should be able to see the stars through it if it's not cloudy. No rain forecast until Wednesday :T:T

    Very very very clever!

    Very impressed. Looks particularly sturdy, compared to the ones out here.

    I thought the laurel would be good as it is pretty waterproof but given the see the stars bit apparently it is good because it lasts as at this time of year most leaves don't.
    I think....

    Spot on! It's evergreen, so doesn't drop leaves all over the place.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    You can build one on a suitable balcony, if you don't have a garden. If you don't have a balcony or a garden, you can go and use a friend's. If you don't have a balcony, a garden, or a friend with a sukkah, you're stuffed. :)
