Day Two Hundred and Seventy-one

Feest Isolation Days – 10 December

After fourteen years our Neff dishwasher packed up and we needed to buy another one. Very straight forward. We contacted the company where we bought all of our appliances when we redid the kitchen fourteen years ago and the very helpful young man sorted us out.  We will have a new installation on Monday. My details were even still on their system!  The new dishwasher has a special feature that enables you to change the height of the top basket. This means stemmed glasses will fit.  Amazing.  However.  When Terry looked again at our fourteen year old dishwasher he noticed something neither of us had in all those years. Our old dishwasher has a feature that enables you to change the height of the top basket. We were rolling on the floor laughing!  All those washes. All those years and we never noticed!  Tee hee.  Grab your fun where you can I say! 

We do what we can to make sure we laugh at least once a day. A big fulsome belly laugh.  It sure does make the difference to a dark winter day.

The Christmas cracker jokes have started…The channel Gold has a competition for the best of the bunch.  They have to be topical and relevant.  A panel of judges short lists, then 2000 randomly chosen people vote on their favourite. Here’s the winner for 2020

What is Dominic Cummings’ favourite Christmas song? (See A below!)

And we all know Boris doesn’t like to be left out of anything so here’s one for him..

Why can’t Boris Johnson make his Christmas cake until the last minute? (See  B below!)

Watch this space for more of these as the season progresses.  Feel free to send in your best attempts. Remember they need to be topical and relevant…The Brits are always there with a good few jokes to cheer us all on.  Despite Covid, The British sense of humour remains intact.

Tuesday was a gold letter day for all of us.  The first person in the world to receive a vaccine was Margaret Keenan who will turn 91 next week.  Margaret is a grandmother from Coventry and has made history today!  Roll on more vaccines.  We are all waiting with sleeves rolled up…well many of us are anyway!

Enjoy!

With love
