Poinsettia

killalla paid us a visit today. Bringing star topped nests from Marks and Spencer for us and presents for the duo (a Hello Kitty DVD for Bea and a car kit for Ryan). Hence much Hello Kitty watching (this was the DVD of Snow White). Bea is very much a Hello Kitty fan and approved of the fairy tale choice.

This was also the second installment of Making The Christmas Cake. There is now a large square cake cooling in the kitchen with a sealed box waiting (note to self - cake only goes in upside down) to pack it away until I have a chance to marzipan it. I've also bought mincemeat for mince pies - but they'll have to wait for another day (and I must get stuff for mulled wine as well).

Whilst I've done quite a lot this weekend (corner shelf, Christmas decorations, Christmas cake) I'm still feeling that it shouldn't be Monday coming next - somehow I seem to have mislaid a whole bunch of spare time. Oh well, last week. For me and for the duo.
