Light bulb changing technique

This post could alternatively be titled "How many Wl's does it take to change a light bulb??? Three...One to change the light bulb and two to turn it into full scale videoed musical production .

After 23 years, Barry got sick of leaning precariously over the balcony and catching the innards of the light fitting with his umbrella hook. ...Oooooo yes, that WAS a fabulous technique, but apparently outmoded and regarded as somewhat dangerous now, in this era of OH&S regulations and all.

In his ingeniousness, he has come up with a new technique which provided Megs and I with Sunday afternoon entertainment and hilarity:). (Click play)

Millie's 21st

First, the preparations....Then, the party.....

The King of the Fairies and the Forest Nymph

The King of the FairiesThe King of the Fairies stabs the Ninja Protector with his sword. The Ninja Protector looks as though he's laughing too hard to protect himself, let alone the entire Kingdom of the Enchanted Forest.
Meanwhile....
the Queen of the Fairies and the Forest Nymph happily pose for photos regardless.

It all ended well and after a very seedy day of recovery, the revellers live happily ever after.!

Had four fun days in the Barossa with our neighbours. -Beautiful meals, lots of wine tasting and laughter.The vines were gorgeous..Autumn is my favourite season..such wonderful colours and that little nip in the air!:)

Flowers

These are my new favourite flowers... purple lisianthus...
Aren't they beautiful! They also come in white and a lovely lemony green colour and pink. I don't know why I've not discovered them before this!

Also a pretty purple pansy in my garden..I seem to be going through a purple phase right now..in respect to flowers at least..don't think I'll be painting the walls purple or anything.
