Silly Saturday – Handy Hints

~ tidalscribe.com

Are you getting excited about Christmas?

Stuck for gift ideas? Why not give them an interesting model that’s easy to make.

Or something hand knitted, you needn’t let on who actually knitted it.

For the person who’s got everything, a new gadget.

Christmas is a time for old friends to get together...

…so have a relaxing day, no need to be formal.

Just chill out.

But lots of people still like to bake and get ready … overheard on the bus, a great grandmother and her daughter chatting… ‘I’ve put the Christmas cake mixture on top of the wardrobe because of the mice, but you’ll have to get it down.’ ‘Will I need two arms, because I’ve only got one working.’

If you can’t face visitors for Christmas, just pretend you’re going on a skiing holiday and post a few pictures on Facebook.

Don’t forget to make sure your elf stays warm.

But be careful in the kitchen.

Don’t forget to post lots of pictures of your home on social media or sneak a few pictures of other people’s Christmas trees.

And finally, if Father Christmas is late, it could be because the reindeers are stuck in traffic.

  4. I love the ‘overheard on the bus’!

    It’s a worry about the air fryer, though. Mark has just started using ours, so I’m a bit worried the Chinese might gain a strategic advantage by overhearing, “Jackie, can you peel the mushrooms and weigh out 300 g of Arborio rice.”

    They might twig that we’re having mushroom risotto for dinner, and where might that lead?

  6. You summed it up very nicely. I cannot stand Christmas. The stress levels involved for what amounts to one and a half days in dreary winter are just too much for me to cope with. The 27th is the only day I look forward to, when it is all over.

    Best wishes, Pete.

      1. OH … wait a minute now! We can rightly be blamed for much of what is wrong with the world today … but not the naughty elves! Oh no … they originated at the North Pole and every year Santa has many laughs while watching their antics! 🧝
