WEATHER
Sunday was a gorgeous day. A steamy 9C, sunny, not a cloud around, no wind chill... Why, just the sort of lovely, peachy day to drain your central heating radiators in preparation for more snow forecast on Wednesday.

TO BLOG OR NOT BLOG?
TO BLOG PERCHANCE TO BORE?
My Fairyland blog was born from the desperation of having the heating boiler blow in the coldest weather in 30 years. Your great messages helped keep my chin up and often dried my tears of frustration and stopped me using the Ninja-stix to draw blood.

I was contacted by a Fairylander, who blogs about Faires little adventures, asking if I'd tell her how it is that I can post such long blogs, because hers are cut short at half a page.

After reading her blog, I have been overcome with guilt. What if everyone who has a very small talent (such as myself, the crusty Ninja-Gran (proud possessor of Beginners Crutchwork Certificate - and the Insulting Idiots, Highly Commended Rosette) were to post looong blogs (such as mine).

Why, soon our walls would be awash with stuff we hadn't asked for and didn't want. Fairyland walls would fill with junk mail... and I can't do that to you. This is my last FL wall-posted blog.

But so many of you have advised me to try my hand at writing a blog page, that I am hesitatnly persuaded.

I'll keep your posts. As soon as I have overcome my IT-Ignorance, I'll let you know it's address. (Volunteers anyone? Anyone good with IT and graphics and tasteful design? Anyone?)

I look forward to telling you about the move, the new bird table (yet to be set up at the new place) and other stuff on slow days... an elephant once broke my neck, the weird way I discovered 3 Husb was playing away, the dangers of the English countryside etc.etc

Most of all, I hope to keep you, and all the amazing FL friends I've made.

HUMOUR WITH A MORAL, FIRST THE HUMOUR
A one dollar bill met a twenty dollar bill and said, "Hey, where've you been? I haven't seen you around here much."
The twenty answered, "I've been hanging out at the casinos, went on a cruise to the Caribbean and did the rounds of the ship, parties, bars, buffets, balls, back to the USA, strip clubs, went to a couple of baseball games, the movies, to the mall, that kind of stuff... How about you?"
The one dollar bill said, "You know, same old stuff .. church, church, church."

AND THE MORAL
When going to the mall, please remember to take more small bills with you.

Have a superdelicious, lovely day.
Hugs from the crusty Ninja-gran xx
