A Toilet Story of Note

I am not the only person to be fascinated by strange things rich people purchase.  Heather Bambrick on JAZZFM yesterday told us about a bullet-proof glass toilet that was encrusted with 40,000 diamonds.

The Dailymail.com article's headline is:

Feeling flush?  Gold toilet featuring a BULLET-PROOF seat studded with more than 40,000 diamonds goes on sale for £1 million in China
  • The lavish gold-plated throne worth $1,288,677 (£999,497) has been spotted at a trade fair in Shanghai  
  • 40,815 diamonds weighing 334.68 carats in total have been embedded in the toilet's bullet-proof seat
  • Its Hong Kong manufacturer is currently attempting a Guinness World Record for the posh loo 
Just in case you think it is too ludicrous, here is the article with pictures HERE.  Heather's question was what made it important that it be bullet-proof.

We set up and decorated the Christmas tree at the Grimsby Library yesterday.  This is for the Grimsby Fantasy of Trees display coming up November 22 - December 8.  The tree goes to Gillian's Place to give a family, and all the toys go to various Gillian's place families.

A lady came by and said:  "Isn't this early to be putting up a tree?"  I responded:  The festival is in just a few weeks - November 22nd.  She had a panicked kind of look like she just woke up.
