    I feel for those bees. I bet they were in tears passing those candles. Explains why they keep bumping into things, they're still all wonky, can't fly straight.

    Nah, candles play havoc with her plastics. Must get one of those posh jap blow up dolls. Some are quite lifelike, in the dark.

    I bought a huge three-foot tall ornate brass ewer candle holder for £150 in a car boot sale last year. It's so heavy I can barely lift it. Must weigh 100 pounds at least.

    It has cherubs in relief all round the side who seem to be playing out some story, like Trajan's column, although I can't quite make out what's going on.

    There are lots of bunches of grapes, so maybe they're getting pissed. But where do all the doves fit in. Are they pigeon fanciers too?

    Anyway, the dodgy looking geezer I bought it from said I need 4" diameter beeswax candles "you know guv, like the ones they use in cathedrals"

    So I'm quite looking forward to power cuts down here. It'll be a great chance to try it out.
