I love toy shops..

Here's some of the stuff I bought for Christmas pressies (there's one birthday pressie as well).. I was tempted to get myself a SpongeBob, too.. (I'm actually just watching SpongeBob as I type this! LOL..)

Happy Christmas everyone

Starting with my favourite Christmas music video.. (If you don't want to watch it all, the music starts at around 1:47..) Bing Crosby & David Bowie - The Little Drummer Boy / Peace On Earth Beautiful..


I have updated my annual virtual Christmas card - here..


My favourite Christmas song; Adeste Fideles (I only like the Latin version, though.. unfortunately, a part of it is in English on this video..)

So.. Christmas, so far; I didn't have the time to get any sleep on the night before Christmas Eve. I cleaned the bathroom, washed my hair, baked the Finnish style Christmas ham, etc.. In the morning, I hoovered the house, and then I had to do some more shopping.. (Checked out the new Boots, here in Bray - nice!) Came home with no money and my arms longer than before..

I did eventually have a long nap, but I got up to watch The Savage Eye Christmas Special (some of it is on youtube). Made it to the titles, yay =D


Another version.. =)

What else, what else..? Hmmm.. I can't remember, I'm kinda tired and drunkish.. =) I've been off vino for ages, but I got two bottles for Christmas (as in, for a present), so I thought it'd be about time to drink the stuff from last year's Christmas hamper :o Drinking it now, after a cider.

I've uploaded some photos, which I haven't blogged yet, so I might be doing that, later on.. After some more vino & edibles..

Happy Christmas everyone!

Tonight..

The only interesting bit about today: The Savage Eye Christmas Special. RTE Two, 10:30pm. Can't wait =)

Birthday party

I was at a lovely birthday party today =) No photos yet, but I uploaded the cutting of the cake video (above). At 1:04, on top right, the child wearing a red top is my lovely godson. Any woman would kill to have his gorgeous eyelashes..

New feral kitten :o

My camera was in the attic, so I had to take phone snaps from the kitchen door (as getting closer to the kitten would have scared it off). These two pictures are crops from bigger snaps, hence the poor quality..

I was making myself a cup of tea, yesterday, when I spotted this kitten in the back garden. It was nervously eating some chicken bones. D took a bowl of cat food out there, and the kitten ran off, but returned soon, barely getting a mouthful of food before Oscar (cat next door) appeared, wanting all the food for himself! =/ I tried to drag Oscar away, but he just ran back as soon as I let him go, and ate all the food.

I'm hoping to see the kitten again as I'm concerned now that I know the poor little thing is out there.. I must find myself a forest hut, so that I can let those 65+ cats move in with me.. Become a proper cat lady..

Sunday shopping with M

I was on my way to Dublin, on Sunday, and this Santa was waving at everyone at Grand Canal Dock DART station =D Awesome..


I met up with M, and we started with lunch at Kokoro Sushi Bento. Yum. I could live on sushi..

 
This bento tray was €9.95, I think, and miso soup was included. It was the first time I'd tried raw tuna. Very nice, but I don't think any fish will ever beat salmon, for me. I love salmon..

Btw, at this point, a little warning; if you're expecting a Christmas present from me, please stop reading / browsing about here =P I've already posted some Christmas shopping pics, in earlier entries, and I'll post a bit more, so.. Stop now!

 
After some shopping, we had an ice cream break at Maud's / Jervis Centre. (Mental note: two scoops is too much, and ice cream makes my throat itchy, which makes me cough.. I never remember this, afterwards! Lol..)


When I came home, I had more salmon.. =D

  

Not that long anymore

 
Someone requested more fingernail pics on flickr, so I snapped a few, before trimming them. Three fetish genres and counting, lol..

Monica job

I've been watching loads of old Friends episodes, lately (on Comedy Central), so I was perhaps a little Monica on the RTE Guide Christmas issue..

 

 

Last Thursday & IKEA

IKEA lunch on Thursday..


My IKEA lot. Three white boxes with lids (I wanted four blue ones and three green ones as I already have a green one, but they only had white lids, and they looked ugly with blue or green boxes, so I had to buy them in white, which I don't like, so I only bought three..), loads of scented tealights, and some sweets.. I also bought frozen cinnamon buns, but they're in the freezer and I didn't feel like bringing them to the attic just for a photo.

Btw, got a new power shower, on the same trip - finally!!!
