The pineapple

Still way behind with all those seasonal jobs. At least I did get a tree last weekend, but it is still lying in the garage - not much use when one is looking for a suitable late blip. There is one in the village, but to me it always looks like an illuminated pineapple rather than a proper conical Christmas tree.

In Brasil,a pineapple is slang for something that is not quite right or a bit of a mess.
