Dear Graham

I took the advice and converted an old swimsuit into a lovely indoor hanging basket.  Friends and relatives have been amazed how good it looks

Dear Graham

I have converted an old pair of Speedo goggles into a miniature aquarium.  I filled each eye piece with warm water and carefully inserted a number of baby fish bought at my local tropical fish centre.

Then I cut two pieces of plastic and super-glued them into the back of each eye piece.  The hardest bit was to drill two small holes (I used a 0.5mm drill) in the top of each eye piece for air circulation.  Once completed the goggles can be put on the side or hung from a hook in the ceiling.  People are amazed when they see fish swimming around in the goggles!  It's great.  You can put the goggles in your pocket and take them around with you.  Please pass this onto the rest of the Club.  They are so easy to make and would make excellent Christmas presents.

Dear Graham

What a great idea of yours to use hand paddles for other things like chopping earth.  I recently bought a new pair and I have been using them to scrape the ice off my car windscreen.  I have found that laying face down on the bonnet with hubby holding the feet is really effective with a vigorous 'fly' action.  A neighbour questioned the reasoning behind my bottom going up and down in rhythm with my arms. 

I explained that the movement gave me enough leverage to free up the windscreen
