Double-Sided Curtains??

Yesterday was outside and noticed that many of my neighbours had blinds down/ curtains drawn and they were all white! Why?? Brainwave: Double-Sided Curtains

These curtains would have a scene or picture on the outside as well as a pattern on the inside. so curtains for the living room could have a fireside scene or sunset, bathroom could have a tub or silhouette of somebody on the toilet reading a paper (although as I pointed out to himself in my excited planning last night, in our case we could always not have any curtains and that silhouette would always be in our bathroom.....) Children's bedrooms could have a character or whattever.

Then for blinds they could be reversible... So you could change the pattern on the inside/outside to suit your mood. Genius I think, need to research it harder but am thinking of taking it to Dragons Den!! While himself was not totally enthusiatic (I believe the term was 'pointless, stupidist idea'), he thought it might work better than my fold-up, portable table for fitting in your handbag. t fits in your bag/pocket and on a night out you unfold it and wear it to put your chinese take-out on. Its attatched by braces....

Anywho after this entreprenerial rant in bed last night, I felt my genius was working so asked himself to tell me how phones work (again). It's just something I can't get my head around. I mean how can I be in the hall on my wired phone, chatting to my mum 200 miles away on a cordless phone and we can hear each other instantly. I thought the wires went under the ground, apparently they're the wires on the poles (not electrical ones like I thought). And then it hit me, that's where the expression 'A little birdie told me' comes from. Birds are always on the phone lines, they must pick up the message and pass it on quickly. So my final way to make moola is to start my own phone company. I'm going to train the newly hatched birds in the garden, which I have lovingly fed and watched every day and make a fortune....

Guess who's Back...

Finally decided to get back on a blog after 6 years so forgive my rustiness... This has co-incided with me finding my knitting needles after a considerably longer absence from my life, The two are set to become a major addiction.
