Put The Tree Up Yesterday.

[Caran]

Today I noticed it was leaning forward quite a lot in the lounge e xtension which is a conservatory. . There are quite a few more decs at the front as the back can't be seen. It's a tall tree about seven foot tall.
I solved the leaning forward though by hanging a large bottle of water at the back hidden by the foliage so bobs your uncle!!!

Do all the decorations on the tree match up to your high standards of colour coordination though, Caran?
;-)

[Caran]

Naughty naughty Chris! Yes they do, all colours of the rainbow and three sets of lights.

Hey good thinking, Caran. Thank gawd it's only water though ;-)

[Buenchico]

Three!

Isn't that overdoing it a bit? ;-)

BTW: I thought about your post on clashing colours when I saw Pastafreak's furnishings in her post about her new cat: https://i.postimg.cc/K84mZ5tk/20201210-200428.jpg

>>> Thank gawd it's only water though

Caran's not going to waste good gin, is she?

[tonyav]

I should certainly hope not, Chris ( or anything else that has an alcohol content ).

[Caran]

Definitely not wasting gin on a tree. Bought a bottle of sloe gin today. That really speaks christmas to me.

[tonyav]

Love that stuff, Caran. Very very moreish though ;-)

[Caran]

I know tonyav. The one I got at lidl is only 50cl so I may have to go to Tesco to get a bigger one!

[tonyav]

Yep, think I may have to go to Tesco now to ( well tomorrow ), Caran.

[Buenchico]

I can't recall ever having tried sloe gin - but I'm going shopping for Christmas booze tomorrow . . . ;-)

Lovely cat of Pasta's.

[Caran]

Ooh love that one Chris!

[tonyav]

Now thats what I call an Advent calendar, Chris.

[Buenchico]

I've a feeling that if I had that advent calendar/tree, Christmas might come very early ;-)

Aldi might offer the best value on sloe gin. £13.99 for 70cl

I really thought Caran was going to tell us she’d put Mr Caran behind the tree to hold it upright until twelfth night..x

Oi!! My clashing colours were so my grey baby would show up...otherwise she would be on an equally grey sofa.
