No – don’t worry, I am not starting to fret about Christmas 2010 – but it did occur to me to comment on the the innovative gifts which formed part of the present pile a couple of weeks ago. These are all ongoing in one way or another. They included a part adoption of a wild baby elephant called Esprit, hand designed and painted mugs, a little pig computer screen cleaner, an itunes voucher and a book (very informative – all about Spain in the 1930’s. The Return by Victoria Hislop); I also continue to laugh at the Michael McIntyre CD (I did drop a lot of hints about that one).
I registered the elephant online and discovered that she was five years old yesterday; the mugs are used nearly every day, as is the cute fuzzy screen-wipe; I am having great fun choosing apps from the itunes store, and the book is proving challenging in many ways – it is teaching me about a place and a time of which I knew very little.
Well done everybody, and many thanks.
