OOOOOOOOOH !

This christmas was smashing. I had curry for tea, and a turkey the sunday before, so its a two-in-one deal ! Very much like the christmas sales that are going on right about now.

One of the things I will take home [if i do come home one fine balmy hot day] is roast potatoes. There has been a yearly shortage of goose fat for christmas for the last 3 years, and thats because of roaties and nigella lawson. She is basically a tv cook with sexy lips and makes the most annoying snide comments of hosting perfection. Because of her, goose fat in thine potatoes is the only way.

Anyway, right now I am in pink flannel monkey pajamas watching an analysis of old-school christmas presents by james may. A SPIROGRAPH !!!! It is that high on the list, like the nintendo nes, mini microscopes and specimens, and lego. I need one badly. I can see now I was more of a tomboy than I thought.

And some nostalgia in the ladybird books. My favorite was sleeping beauty. Sigh. Some info on that :) Apparently the artists in the midlands [here] used to illustrate for ladybird as a sideline. I have a mind to search out my favorite now and blow it up for a canvas.

Anyway this christmas was lovely, but I am missing my folks back home. Of course, the random call in the middle of the night.

And now to go to analyse my presents. Good haul this year ! The best presents come from the heart.... and from yourself hahahahahahhahaha !!!!!!!! I got myself darling shirts from hawes & curtis, an art noveau necklace, a new work bag, new shoes, the standard white satin with lace trim pretty thing, a fabulous pink party dress and lots and lots of pretty bits and a new jumper.

Can't wait to go to the sales ! Selfridges, here I come !
