There was a very heavy frost here last nightand it probably has killed off my geraniums which is a shame as the Geraniums were still in flower.    One thing I did this morning was to put a large fleece jacket over my Australian Tree Fern as I don't want to lose that
I bought it as a present for Mrs H's  50th birthday and that was some time ago !

And a few more...

A guy walked into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him.
The waitress asked for their orders.

The guy said, "A hamburger, fries, and a coke," and then the waitress asked the ostrich, "What's yours?"

"I'll have the same," said the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress returned with the order. "That will be $18.40 please."

The man reached into his pocket and, without looking, pulled out the exact amount for payment.

The next day, the guy and the ostrich cane in again and the guy said, "A hamburger, fries, and a coke."

The ostrich said, "I'll have the same."

Again the guy reached into his pocket and paid with the exact change.

This became routine. Finally, one night they entered the restaurant and the waitress asked, "The usual?"

"No, this is Friday night, so I’ll have a steak, baked potato & salad,” said the guy.

"Me too," said the ostrich.

The waitress brought the order
and said, "That will be $42.62”

Once again the guy pulled the exact amount out of his pocket and placed it on the table.

The waitress couldn’t hold back her curiosity any longer.

“Excuse me, sir, but how do you manage to always come up with the exact amount out of your pocket every time?”

"Well," said the guy, "several years ago I was cleaning my attic and found an old lamp. When I rubbed it a genie appeared and offered me 2 wishes. My first wish was if I ever had to pay for anything I would just put my hand in my pocket and
the right amount would always be there."

That's brilliant!" said the waitress. "Most people would wish for a million dollars or more, but you'll always be as rich as you need to be for as long as you live. And what was the second wish?”

The man sighed and said,
“I wished for a tall chick with long legs who would always go along with whatever I wanted.”

Happy Christmas. folks, and enjoy the awful jokes:

My biggest mistake was challenging Death to a pillow fight.
I was NOT prepared for the reaper cushions

I walked into a toy store to do some early Christmas shopping and asked the assistant, "Where are the Schwarzenegger dolls?"
He said: “Aisle B, back.”

How much does a chimney cost?
Nothing, it's on the house

During the Covid lockdown, if you had family round on Christmas Day, police could force entry to your home and make them go home.
Does anyone know if this is service is still available, and if you have to book?

Tesco just arrived with the Christmas delivery. The driver handed me a bag and said ‘There’s a couple of substitutions, here’s your sprig of rosemary and haddock’
I said to him ‘This isn’t the thyme or the plaice’.

Still annoyed that my high school classmates voted me “most likely to hold a grudge”

I thought my wife approved of the way I arranged the furniture in the living room.
But when I got home, the tables were turned.

I have been teaching my dog to fetch tools from my workshop. He’s not perfect.
But he knows the drill

Just took a patience test.
It came back negative

“Hey waiter! This coffee tastes like mud!”
“Yes, sir. but it was only just ground...”
