write a blog,
and play the viola,
and put up the Christmas tree
Yeah, ok. It's more of a Christmas installation than a tree. But, well, what is a Christmas tree anyway? It's a plant formerly growing outside brought inside decorated with lights and ornaments assembled whilst listening to Christmas carols.... check, check, check and check. As I was saying, today we put up our Christmas tree. This is actually our 2nd tree since the first tree, a replica of last year's tree made by son-extraordinaire Graham,
experienced a fatal encounter with my broom leaving the entire upstairs of our house flooded. Looking now at this photo from last year, I see my mistake. Just because that demijohn CAN hold 52 liters of water doesn't mean that it SHOULD. Slightly over-aggressive sweeping led to a ever-so light tap on the belly of the bottle, which led to an explosion of glass and water, which, ultimately, led to the cleanest floor this house has ever seen and a Christmas installation
