My new Christmas Toy.
I think that the tale is worth telling. 'What do you want for Christmas?' kept coming and coming, I had enough socks, shirts, pyjamas and the usual shhite that comes from Santa's sack every year....so I told everyone that I wanted some money so that I could buy a petrol leaf blower, yes I wanted to blow leaves away from the garden and the driveway it would cut the gardening time down...more time for fishing. Well Santa brought the money and yesterday I became the proud owner of a 'Sthil'.... powerful thing too 200 mph wind and as light as a feather.....starts up first time too....now I was up early this morning waiting for the dawn to put the toy to good use and watching the telly , that advert about the wind tunnel came on with people jumping into it and sky diving....and as I am... had a thought....yes, another great use for it, getting the wife out of bed in the morning, well you've never seen the like of it, I crept upstairs with my new toy and after setting myself in the corner of the bedroom started it up, amazing, it took all the sheets off the bed on the first rev up and the expression on her face with her hair stood on end as she pealed herself off the wall was a sight to behold, what was also good about it was that with the noise and the cuffufle I could not hear her swearing....., when I dropped the tube down to floor level the room filled with dust from under the bed, so that helped me get away from the lunge...when the power of the wind came off her...it took me about half an hour to stop laughing.... I have promised faithfully under threat of serious bodily injury not to use it in the house again Happy new Year!
