    Lir, your tree is beautiful :)

    Thank you:)


    I do need more lights though.

    I used to have ones like candles that clipped on to each branch, I'd like them. Also, I'd like lights that 'twinkle' rather than just be on or off. But I'll probably not look till these die. :o

    My decorations are pretty minimal, though more than the past er 10+ years combined. Treea, lights and tinsel from parents, tree decs were a cheapo ikea set I already had and the baubles hanging from the fireplace + star on front door I saw outside a florists for 25p each :)
    I have a bag of dusty tinsel which came with the house (think it its destined for the bin). Will keep an eye out in the sales for some nice additions for next year...

    I'm still fathoming out how to use this Forum, but I like the idea of Nice People. In my world I like things to be sunny and cheerful.

    A lovely man that I know always says if you can't feel wood round you when you waken up in a morning (a coffin), you know it's going to be a good day.

    Very true! :D

    Welcome BlueSky. Are you a scientist, or do you have a partner who is one? (You are of course very welcome whatever the answer is. :))

    One of the villages near here has a tiny road my car may fit up called ' the City'

    I like it that Wells (2011 census population 11,343) qualifies as a city. :)
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    I am. That is bringing me immeasurable joy ... and brings lots of smiles to my little wrinkled face :)

    It's transformed my room and my life. I turn the lights on from the minute I am awake to the minute I am going to sleep.

    I moved from a small city (150,000) to a big town (70,000), thinking they wouldn't be much different. I mentioned about four threads back I only believe a place is a city when if you say you'll meet somebody at the
    chnese supermarket
    shopping mall
    multiplex
    university

    You have to name which one each time! That's what tells you you're in a real city. I feel I might enjoy living in in Nottingham more than in Northampton despite the fact they're both similar sized settlements in the East Midlands.

    Friday before Xmas.... people are supposed to being jolly things .... I'm not.

    I'm doing what I'd be doing if it were any other day at any other time of year :(

    We were stuck at Heathrow, then Istanbul for connecting flight. In Batumi now, and driving to Tbilisi as soon as we're rented (probably bought, as there's one for US$800 I saw 5 minutes ago, that we can 'donate' to someone on the way out)

    Anyone else love the Georgia/Turkey customs/immigration building?
