Doesn't the house seem big
« on: January 06, 2011, 04:57:36 PM »
Now that the decorations and Christmas Trees have been packed away for another year, the large and sprawling teenager has been sent back to school and the wife is back at work the house is strangely larger. Quieter too!!

Bliss in fact  cloud9:




Mind you there's a fvck of a lot of cobwebs suddenly ........

Oh yes! Every night in fact .... cloud9:


Mind you I feel like death by the afternoons so I'm glad it will all be over tonight.

Spread bet = It will finish between 0130 and 0150 weather permitting.

Forecast is for early morning (Aussie time) showers which may delay the start but I can't see it taking very long to knock off the tail. I expect the Aussies to stonewall a bit but they know they are beaten and all the remaining "not outs" have to play for is a place in the new team which must surely follow.

I might email my Oz Cuz #3 with a message of condolences. She'll be at work not too far from the stadium ...  whistle:

I had a persistent spider in the bath earlier in the week, does that count?

Oh, and the Christmas card pile has been filed, so yes, much more space  ;)

SWWLTBO always used to keep a towel hanging over the side of the empty bath as an escape route for bath spiders, she now "rescues" them for release into the garden....... I kill the b@st@rd things  eveilgrin:

That sounds like a very Buddhist thing to do, not treading on ants and the like.  I just drown the buggers (hopefully) but this last one had the tenacity, nay temerity to reappear  eeek:

I see a thread in this; The Bath Spider Thread - with pics!  evil:

Sorry, meant to add that our decs are coming down tomorrow (just to keep this on thread slightly).
