Dead But Hanging On

You know those photos that look better in your head than they do in reality? This is one of those..

I discovered another downside to living alone, this morning. There's no one to assist in the carrying out and chopping up of the Christmas tree. The lounge, kitchen and garden all became covered in needles, the cat gave me a look that clearly said "Yep. As I suspected all along - humans are mad" and then I got wet standing out in the drizzle, lopping off branches.
