Christmas Lights...

Well it's that time of year (apparently!) to get the Christmas Lights up ready before the snow comes along.

For some reason I seemed to have alot of 'cooks' come round to 'assist'. Faron to help spot the ladder, Andy (Jag) to eat tea cakes & drink coffee and not forgetting the terrible twins Tina & Jojo to bark orders at us all and supervise that we were doing a good job...

Ladder hired and picked up thanks to Andy.. Sunday morning it started...

Seems i was the only one going up the ladder!

Andy & Jojo making sure i did the job right

Faron looking confused!

mmm.. if i move it a little to the???

And of-course our good friend Jojo always wiling to help.....

Jojo supervising and assisting...

mmm maybe left a little, and don't leave any slack in the wire, no no untwist that light.. hang them from the bottom.. that's not straight numbnuts!! 

Great advice Jojo!  

But i do wish to thank everyone for your help and Faron for a smashing Sunday roast afterwards.. just what we all needed after being out in the cold.

Out with the old in with the new

At the at off my last trip, I was half way through my days off when i got a phone call from my boss saying could i come down and clear my gear out of my truck as it was going back. OK i said ,then i thought what truck will i get now??

Then he said unfortunately i am going to have to give you a new truck. WOOHOO i thought.
