Defibrilating Christmas


Tree decorated and living room illuminated with various LED lights. Hay wouldn't let me near the thing - she maintains I learned the art of Christmas tree decoration at the DP Gumby School of Home Decor, which I think a bit harsh.



Very impressed with the fake tree; if it wasn't for the base you wouldn't know the difference, and it's nowhere as wide at the base as a real tree - that always give us maneuverability issues.

Could do with Xmas tree baubles with LEDs inside that can be controlled remotely - and I don't mean strings of LEDs but individual ones with those little, flat batteries and no wires. Now there's an idea!

I've committed the ultimate sin - I bought Hay a Christmas present and hid it so she doesn't find it, but now I can't remember where I put it.

Yesterday Hayley did her civic duty and checked the defibrilator in the old village telephone box - rather her than me. Thought she was going to taser me at one stage. She's the village's official defibrilator checker and has to do it every two weeks.


She came up with what she thought was a catchy name for an older person dating site yesterday - Trinder. Had to disabuse her - it's already a Chrome extension.

Are those things there to be used by anyone or just a few village specialists? If you needed it where does the combination code come from?

Anyone can use it - you dial 999 for the code and then someone walks you through the procedure.

I know that we have a couple at work and they give you instructions as you use it. My worryvwould be knowing when a person needs it.

Ditto...

OAP's on Tinder might occasionally have a need for such a device!
