It’s been a joint effort, Tim, Big and myself. Big is thrilled, and she’s already build a shed to go with it. Then this morning I spent two hours building LEGO – Batman – 7786 – The Batcopter: The Chase for Scarecrow so that’s done too. Small is likewise thrilled, but the kit doesn’t allow for building anything else. Not sure I approve of lego of that type to be honest, seems to rather defeat the purpose.
We’re eating the leftovers from yesterday’s festive meal (or at least Tim is, he’s got the other half of the chicken to get through before he goes away tomorrow) and I’m resisting the urge to run out to hobbycraft with the £70 I was given yesterday by watching the story of stuff over and over. (If I watch it enough times, the shops will be shut and the point will be moot. Wish me strength.)
Tim is most thrilled with his slippers (although his are grey rather than pink), and I was very touched by the scarf I got from my stepfather – the label said “I saw this and thought it was you” and I was psyching myself up for an appropriate response, and then was really happy with it – it’s all colours and oh so very soft. I might even post a picture later (if I can work out how to get it from one computer to another and make it a reasonable size. Sometimes I’m such a technophobe.)
All in all, it’s been a good christmas. The wine helped though 😉
