Admire my festive holiday blister
Glue gun glue is hot, y’all. In fairness to me, I did know that, even though this was my first time using one. What I didn’t know was that it was going to drip through the middle of the wreath onto my flesh.
Weasel’s top glue gun tip: always keep a glass of water handy for these little accidents.
Not my work, I’m just replacing bits that have fallen off. I bought it on the high street, I don’t remember what year, but I remember we were in semi-lockdown at the time. The wreaths were displayed outside, but I didn’t have a mask, so to pay for it I had to stretch my arm inside far enough to reach the credit card machine on the counter, without breathing on anyone. I felt awfully silly.
Not for the first time, I really wish I’d kept a diary of those years. I’m sure I’ve blotted the dumber bits out of memory.
Anyway, all my pinecones are glued back on and my wreath is on the door. Festive!

There are also lights at the end of the drive. They didn’t come from Etsy.

“*%$£” just sounds so un-British.
“BLOODY” I could accept…
That’s just the world according to EB.

You might as well make it a large whiskey with ice so you can get double duty from it! Or perhaps a frozen margarita or daiquiri…

I burn myself every dang time I get near my hot glue gun. It’s an old one (ca.1989). I’d buy one of the low-temp glue guns, but I don’t use one often enough to justify buying a new one.

Our wreath is suction cupped to the glass and falls off daily. I’m tempted to kick it off the porch into the chicken lot.
Just wondering, have you any new favorite Christmas carols since your time in Merrie Old? Maybe some really musty old folky ones that are little known over here?
