I too volunteer to provide a forever residence for that nutcracker fellow! As for the question of the day, I am as ready for the next quarter of a century as I ever will be, Janet.😉

Hello Bruce. I would have taken him home myself, but I did not think I could manage him on the bus.

Another quarter of a century would mean I lived to be 103. And that would clearly be more amazing than my previous three quarters!

Hello Geoff, quite amazing, but not totally, lots of people get past 100.
Alas, you won’t get a birthday card from King Charles.

Seventy-five metres! I thought maybe 10.
It will be interesting to see if the next 25 years zip by as quickly as the last set (if I’m around that long).

I was well out on the metres of lights. I guessed 25! Good fun, Janet.
Best wishes, Pete.

Thanks Pete, you were right in a way as it is a reel for 25 metres of cable! Neighbour’s idea of a collaboration. They had 100 metres. Photos did not do justice to how Bright they were!
