Twelve Days of Christmas

Interestingly, as i was rattling on about the twelve days of Christmas, i came across a site that explained what it’s all about. Far too boring to make me read all of it, i noticed a couple of interesting points in the beginning. The twelve days of Christmas are in fact the twelve days after [...]

On All The Other Days of Christmas

Well, unfortunatey i’ve been far too busy to update you everyday with all my gifts! It’s been a bit of a party here for the last few days. It all started a few days ago with a bunch of milkingmaids coming in…with cows!! The next day a load of ladies came in dancing…and drinking fresh [...]

On The 7th Day of Christmas

What a gift today! 7 beautiful swans. Although, i am a little worrie about finding enough water to keep these rather large birds swimming! I mean…did they really think about that before they bought them!! I guess i could put 2 in the bath, one in the kitchen sink…one might fit in the sink downstairs…but [...]

On The 6th Day of Christmas

It seems my house is turning into an avery! Partridges, doves, hens, it’s all getting a bit overcrowded. However, these geese should pop out some tasty eggs for my breakfast everyday. All i need now is a juicy little porker that will provide the two rashers on the side! I’m going to feed them all [...]

On The 5th Day of Christmas…

Now this is what i’m talking about…the fact that i would never wear 5 gold rings at once (because i’m not a chav and they don’t have big shiny fake coins in them) means that i can pawn them off and make some cash. That damn partridge isn’t worth a tenner…but these rings should fetch [...]

On The 4th Day of Christmas…

Today…i was lucky enough to be sent lots of calling birds. Well, actually, not that lucky at all! I can’t get 1 minute’s peace in my house without some daft bird calling me to ask i own the house and how much the mortgage is, if i need new windows, doors, flashings or gutters, or [...]

On The 3rd Day Of Christmas…

Doesn’t this say it all really? I mean…who cares where the hen comes from? Do you? In fact…if you were burgled by a hen and you had to select the culprit in a line-up…do you think you could really choose the French one (you know he was French from ze akcent) when he stands next [...]

On The 2nd Day Of Christmas…

Now who wouldn’t want two beautiful doves purring their little hearts out. However…Christmas is in the middle of winter! What are turtle doves doing here in the middle of winter? They leave around September for far warmer climates. While their gentle purring could sooth even the toughest man into a gentle snooze…they’d probably never shut [...]

On The First Day Of Christmas…

Well, we have a peartree in the garden but i haven’t ever seen a partridge in it. Despite our tree being no more than 3 metres tall, i would be very surprised if i did see a partridge in it – not because partridges don’t live in my garden…but because they can’t fly! How would [...]
