jimbo50: Problem is getting a "Real" tree located. bought and erected, only then the thought of getting into the loft and lifting down four large plastic "trunks" of carefully wrapped baubles, built up over at least three generations past ours, then checking / fitting/ sorting lights, and then actually unwrapping each bauble, checking then fitting it in place...... used to be at least two nice glasses to do all that, and about 12th night do all in reverse, then lumber the boxes up.....
- And I'm not a minimalist to manage a tasteful bare branch!
Add to which, a couple of lively young cats .... and OH not very well nowadays. Simply no energy to spare.
Viktoria, were you told about not getting too close to some forms of magnets / vibration sources? There's a sort of sludge magnet thing attached to our heating system I was warned to stay away from that area when first I got a pacemaker. And I used to use an electrical engraver quite a lot, with glass, and that apparently isn't good, or microwaves. Check such things out with your medics.
