Isn't it typical - as soon as the resident male is away, things start to go wrong: lightbulbs blow and you don't know where the spares are, so you type at the computer with a minimum of illumination; it's dustbin day and you only realise because you spot the neighbours' bins out as you're rushing to work; and there are no photos to post because DH is the one who takes all the photos.
Things will be back to normal next week. All I can show you is Mike's advent calendar, lovingly put together by me after a very good suggestion from Lucy.
