MINI TWIGLET JENGA

A few years ago I invented this marvellous game! The family love to play it. The rules are simple. You play in reverse of normal Jenga in that each person takes a turn to add to the tower. When someone causes the tower to collapse they have to eat all the Twiglets. There is one […]

CHRISTMAS 2015

It’s that time again. As usual we’ll be celebrating with a refreshing glass of warm water for breakfast, followed by gruel for the main festive meal. The added holly leaves really get us into the holiday mood! The afternoon is the time for playing games, my favourite being charades where I always carry a sign […]

HOW THE DODO WAS NAMED.

The dodo wasn’t actually named until the breed was extinguished from the face of the earth. The last dodo that existed was kept as a pet and had been taught to talk by it’s owners. At Christmas time they used to dress it up to add to the fun when it recited ‘The Owl and […]

MERRY CHRISTMAS – Ho ho ho

I won’t mention her idea concerning a sharp knife, some glue and glitter for the baubles to hang from the festive twig. Actually her idea developed into hanging […]

THE YEARLY MIRACLE

Every year about this time, And it happens over night, Trousers which fitted perfectly Suddenly become too tight. .

ROUND ROBIN

2009 has been an action packed year for Daddy Papersurfer. The rash has been sorted out at last, partly by using clarified butter, but also by buying a size larger in the undercracker department. The yeast infection has been brought under control by a weekly bath in live yoghurt. For those of you worried about […]
