patience...

Been sorting out the Christmas decorations inside today. The big Christmas tree is up and the rest of the stuff has been brought down from the attic.

This is Mr I patiently unravelling the lights. I'm never sure how they get into such a mess. We have 4 sets on the tree and every year each set is put away carefully in separate bags - and yet when we get them out the following year it takes ages to get them sorted out into a straight line on the floor before they can go on the tree. He's still got 2 sets to unravel but has decided to have a gin and tonic before he does them (which will probably be tomorrow).
