I'm having an early Christmas.
Absolutely lovely morning, sun, snow, listening to Placido Domingo on Slovak Radio, and my mum's first two parcels arrived.

Am no good at delayed gratification, so had to open them NOW!

Wonderful selection of classic movies on dvd - Rain, Charade, The Fast and the Furious, My Favourite Brunette, The Last time I saw Paris - Elizabeth Taylor, Dorothy Lamour, James Stewart ahh the glamour!
Second package contained Alexander McCall Smith's 44 Scotland St, which was a request - but I'm all in favour of getting what you want :)

Apropos of which, my very gorgeous 18 year old friend told me, 'Don't worry we will find you a better one. He doesn't know what he misses.' Damn Straight. Ah the mysteries of men. These mixed messages drive me insane - all friendly and flirty one week, stroking my cheek and making risque jokes; the next pretending he doesn't speak english and ignoring me. Timing, attitude? I just never seem to get it right.

Still, it's led to an excellent rapport with all the bartenders, so I know there is someone to talk to whenever I go insane staring at the walls.

Meeting Audrey and her sister at 3pm in the Vadas baths, hopefully will soak away some of this pain in my neck!

Beaming rays of love and peace and goodwill and joy to you all
