To the Woods

We ordered some trees off the internet and they were delivered today.  The Current Mrs Creel immediately went on a sylvan binge to look for me. 
 
For some reason, unknown to anyone in the northern hemisphere – I have taken to wearing slipper socks.  Very cosy.  A couple days ago I came in from a walk and couldn’t find the one sock, looked absolutely everywhere.  Drove to distraction.  Still no sign so, scunnered, I made myself a mug of tea and put my feet up.  Directly in my eye line was my left foot, with two slipper socks on.  Blip Guidelines prevent me from reporting CMC’s comments.
 
My s-i-l is here for a Friday night debrief.
 
The spurtle’s gone awol.
