Amongst many of the Christmas gifts I received last month, was a magnetic bottle opener which sticks to the fridge – or in my case, the water boiler. As the name suggests, it is used to open bottles of beer, cider, coke and whatever else people drink.
I tested out the contraption at the weekend, with a bottle of Sheppy’s cider, which Simon had brought round. It certainly removed the lid of the bottle. However, in doing so showered not only me, but my entire kitchen with cider.
I thought I had got away with it and cleaned up everything I could see at the time, but upon investigation this afternoon, one of the walls in the kitchen has taken a direct hit and looks like a scene from a Freddy Krueger film. That is, if Freddy Krueger slashed apples with his knife glove.
Needless to say, I will be a lot more careful next time. Upon reflection, I am wondering if I opened the bottle incorrectly. I’ll try it again next time I fancy a drink and will make sure I give the bottle a good, strong shake for luck. What could possibly go wrong?

If any of my fans want to see where their favourite blogger...

Claire managed to get it into our back garden before the bin burglar could steal another from us!
So, I believe that is "thank you" to...

In case anyone has been worried about my broken stairlift and the prospect of me being stranded upstairs forever, fear not, for it has been fixed!
We turned it off an on again.

- Be Careful What You Wish For
We had a power cut this afternoon. Apparently many properties near to ours were also affected.
Thankfully the "blackout" lasted for just a few seconds. That brief period was long enough to knock out all my tech, which, once power had returned, spent ages whirring and beeping as it all came back to life.
The power cut...
- Well That Was Long Overdue…
I had my haircut yesterday, for the first time since February.
Let's just say my mop was getting very long and I was getting very annoyed with it.
You also know it's bad when your wife calls you Shaggy. I assume she didn't mean the cool dude behind classic tunes like It Wasn't Me and In the Summertime. She...
