The better half decided that it was time to decorate the halls with bells and holly, or at least the modern equivalent, last night so

I was dispatched up into the loft to dig out the decorations. That being the sum total of my usefulness during the process I was told to go sit down and keep out of the way.

Have you ever noticed how doing that can get you into trouble? No sooner had I sat down and picked up my book I was up and subjected to an ear bashing for not anticipating she would need me to pass her items. (oh yes I did ask if I could help, just prior to being told to get out of the way)

Oh well, only 4 weeks to go before taking them down again – funny how that gets to be my job……
