Stop !
Before you go reaching for that annoying light switch , think..
THINK ( even slap yourself if necessary) & THINK again .
How could I best spend this upcoming Earth Hour thingy..who?
Stop thinking , for here are some powerful suggestions -
1. Monopoly by Candlelight*- Monopoly is a game I always win . Always . Always . ALWAYS WIN !! ha ha ah aha ha a aha ah..
Hey ! I didn't say I was proud of it !
My tip ? Buy the BLUE properties first and build build build !!!
Actually..better plant tree's instead . And please , DON'T embarrass me or yourself by buying the Electric Company !
2. Spooky stories by Torchlight - Hold the torch under your chin and begin...
"Tom and Francette had only been driving a couple of miles when Francette realised that Tom was , infact , fast asleep at the wheel . dribbling blood . smiling maniacally . not the man she'd imagined . actually dead . still at home . not at all environmentally friendly . wearing his hair all wrong ". *
Uhmm...not quite scary enough ? O.K..let's try this...!
" Tom and Francette had been peddling their bike's along the M15..."
Which is a peaceful prelude to -
3. Manicure by Moonlight - Please resist the temptation to do a complete make-over in what is essentially a blackout ( unless it's on a jolly good friend ) To do so could result in hilarious or tragic consequences . A simple manicure / pedicure will usually suffice .
Here's a fabulous favourite recipe -
Pop 4 tablespoons of epsom salts and a tiny drop of lemon or peppermint essential oil into an earthenware or ancient Roman marble receptacle full of luke warm water .
Soak hands and feet until dawn , gently pat dry and trim nails* carefully .
Pour the foul smelling water onto your trees , they'll love you for it !
4 . Or simply get warm , fuzzy and just...think .
* Please don't burn candles without responsible adult supervision .
* Please do not drive whilst fast asleep , dribbling blood , smiling maniacally etc .
* Actually..better not trim your nails either .
