annwfynIt's snowing! I'm very excited. Oh, and pierot and I are back in London after our day down in Wales. Porthcawl beach is still beautiful, jez's family are really lovely, and the food was great. My family christmas generally went well, with the slightly unnerving news on the side that everyone appears to be getting pregnant. My stepsister and cousin both announced they would be giving birth around May. Pregnancy appears to have become a contagion!
Jez responded to this outbreak of children positively. He made sure I had gin to drink all christmas, ran me a lot of baths, and occasionally seemed to bump into me at the top of the stairs. All very strange.
I've now got two weeks to go til jez's birthday, which means I've got to start gearing up quickly!
In other news,
From Jez
Diamond earrings
Ring dating from the 3rd century Ad
ipod
Picture - map of England as it was in Saxon times.
Bubble maker
Nice lush smelly stuff
From Family
Dad = big photo/picture
Helen = jade necklace
Penny = knock off Emma Bridgewater plates
Kate = art stuff (watercolours, brushes, paper etc)
Daniel/Kate = Bodyshop stuff
From Jez's Family
His Mum and Dad = big box of plates, bowls and mugs & a scarf
Natalie = 2 mugs and a little dragon to hang on the wall
Christmas stocking
2 children's books - Witch Child & Sorceress
1 book of 'teach yourself to draw' by Quentin Blake
1 lush bubble bath
4 place mats from New Zealand
1 mask from Fiji
4 Christmas tree decorations from New Zealand
1 hand made snowman Christmas tree decoration made by my sister
1 catnip cat toy
1 pair of socks - merino socks from New Zealand (you may see a theme here)
1 mud pack facial (it was from New Zealand as well)
1 lemon squeezer
1 packet of chocolate covered cashew nuts
1 book called 'why can't a man be more like a cat' (which confused me cozpierot is already almost entirely like a cat)
1 candle in a little glass holder
1 bottle of African herbs
1 orange
Assorted chocolate coins
Presents From Friends
Elle & Scott = very pretty butterfly brooch
Ryan = book of British folklore and myth
Tim = another book - I can't remember the title atm, which doesn't mean I didn't like it, and does mean I'm being dim
Ginnie = Brian Froud art book - pressed fairies I believe - and a book about leylines
Present from Employers
£20 New Look voucher.
This may be added to later, as I think I've forgotten stuff, specifically from my family and in my Christmas stocking.
Oh, and has anyone out there ever thought of sponsoring a dog? One of jez's fundraisers has lost some pledges and is likely to get into horrible trouble with their bosses unless he can find an equivelent number to replace them before January 3rd. As it's Christmas, and the season of goodwill, I thought there might be some folks out there who wouldn't mind donating to charity, and helping out a fairly nice guy called Adam at the same time.
Any takers?
