I'm not surprised about the switch in real v fake tree mentality. All those nuisance needles. Who needs them? I think I'd like small space outside for a real growing one that I could decorate each year and not have to pack a fake one up into the loft ever again!

The sleep free sneezing interested me enough to research what else our bodies cannot do whilst sleeping. You'd think a lot of bodily functions would be free to do whatever they want, but apparently not so. Much of our bodies shut down to regenerate through the night. How clever is that!?

:kneel:

Looking forward to door four. :grin:

So ...........

WHAT'S BEHIND THE DOOR TODAY?

Let's see *opens door* A VERY interesting one, this. Did You Know that we have Sir David Attenborough - yes, THE Sir David Attenborough, to thank for having yellow tennis balls at Wimbledon? He came up with the idea while in charge of BBC2 Also, the men use fluffier balls than the women (MATRON! :lol: ) The fluffiness is to slow them down.

Now I know why some tennis balls just fly out of the ball flinger (women's) and others just stick around (men's!)

Re sleep free sneezing. It isn't true. I woke Mr R early this morning because I was sneezing and I didn't wake myself immediately.

Ah, but for mammals of a certain size, like us, such a thing isn't possible ;)

The only thing I DON'T like about Xmas is that we have it in the Winter, when it's COLD! Brrrrrrrrr!
