Alladin

Had an idea in the middle of the night (I get my best ideas then, but Sandra Bullock is not always available!)
After watching some antique challenge programmes, I thought I would buy myself a Victorian Oil Lamp.
This I did and after a bit of haggling, got £15 knocked off what was an already expensive item.
This is where my brilliant idea fell apart. My 3am brain wave ,was to buy some scented oil and fill up the lamp. Set fire to the wick and hey presto a cheap light and a smelly room (still trying to get rid of fox and hedgehog poo!! odour ) It was then that my partner dropped the bomb Shell. Apparently oil for oil burners is not meant to be burnt!!!! How bloody stupid is that? The clue is in the title. Oil and Burn? But oh no. The oil is only meant to be heated not set fire too!!!
So my next plan is to get a small amount of petrol and soak some cinnamon sticks over night and set fire to that!!! I will make this oil lamp work if it kills me!!!!

What I also saw, was like a scene from the Glenn Miller story, with yet another old Trombone for sale (see above) however they wanted £85 for it and the slide did not work? I think it was Victorian though (a little like my playing)!

A fascinating programme on the box this week about the human body. You can't tell me, that there is nothing after this life, with the complex structure of human beings. Over a million things are happening in your body in just 60 seconds!!!
Apparently, we only use one third of our brains? I wonder what happens to the other third!!!
