Upside down Union Flags during the Olympics

To make the Olympics more interesting I propose the following game to spot all instances of the National Flag of the UK - The Union Flag, (or Union Jack if being flown on a ship) - is held upside down, indicating someone is in distress.

I propose the following points system

1 point - for spectator in the crowds
2 points - for athletes - extra bonus point if they have just won and are parading around holding the upside down flag above their heads
3 points - for British brand business (and yes BA I am talking about you - please see athletes return from China pics after last Olympics)
4 points - for any person representing UK Government
5 points - for member of British Royal Family.

There is an easy way to remember which way to hang the flag, imagine the flag is attached to a flag pole which is on the left hand side of the flag. Looking at the flag, the thick white stripe should always be on the top next to the flagpole.

Going from the displays of the flag during the recent Jubilee, sadly getting a high score will not be difficult :(

The start of another gardening season. I am hoping to get lots of colour this year.

Just a pity I can't remember what I have planted where, I know there is a load of Tulip and Allium bulbs in their somewhere - guess I will find out when they flower.

Birthday Fridge Magnets

Its the small things in life that can make you happy, and small things that make me smile are good fridge magnets.

When I visit places I look out for the tackiest fridge magnet I can find, the ugliest touristy ones they are the ones I will buy.

I have now got my fridge positioned so all three magnetic sides are available for decoration, this side is reserved for the interactive magnets and these are my new birthday magnets I got this week - ransom note letters - also displayed is my Michael Fish weather magnets - I had to wait months for these to come back in stock at I want one of Those, but good things come to those who wait.
