The Ties That Bind.
It’s Fathers Day coming up on Sunday the 19th.
This is my salute to all the cool neck ties you could have bought your Dad and that he would have had to wear if he really loved you.
If you haven’t written that card yet you can send this one from SqueakyCards.com. If your Dad hasn’t quite got a handle on the new fangled electric postal thing, there is nothing for it. Run to the shops now or it will be straight to your room after dinner without any Telly!
The Haunted Pickle Jar
Halloween is almost upon us and I’m assuming that everyone has taken the usual garlic-based precautions to ward off the creatures of the netherworld?
I thought not.
While it has long been known that garlic has a special affinity with the supernatural, it is little known fact that that is true of other members of the allium family. Pickled onions, especially old ones, can be especially tricky during Halloween and can often end up working for the opposition. Be warned. Stay safe!
Note: Pickled Eggs are thought to have similar properties. This is not strictly true. They are evil at any time of the year.
