This week we went to Birmingham and our daughter took us to the German Christmas Market. We walked through the Bull Ring shopping centre and into the market area. It was just like the markets we used to visit in Germany and we enjoyed a Bratwurst and mug of Gluwien for lunch. Much of the stuff on sale was really expensive and we did not buy anything at all other than lunch.
When we returned home our downstairs electric toilet was not working and I had to take the toilet out and disconnect everything. I took the maserator outside and levered the top off it. It was jam full of paper inside and I washed it all out with the hosepipe, very messy! After I put it all back together with the toilet everything worked normally again. So I managed to save the cost of a new maserator!
At the weekend I got our Christmas Tree out of the loft and put it together in the lounge. We have had this for a few years now and it has more than paid for itself. We always used to buy a real tree but when you buy a six foot high tree we would find that the top two feet would be just one stalk. The artificial tree looks like what you expect a tree to look like with branches all the way up to the top! The tree is now bedecked with lots of coloured lights and baubles. I am surprised they don't sell boxes of plastic pine needle to sprinkle on the floor around it!
Sunday we put up the rest of the decorations and lights in the lounge and they really brighten up the dark winter evenings.
