I've had such a lovely day today. I stayed at James' last night so we could swap presents this morning and this was the aftermath - lots of empty wrapping paper and opened presents. I got James lots of bits and bobs, including a mug with our faces on and a Basset Hound puppy calendar! He got me two brilliant paintbrush pens, one of Tommy Lee's albums, a book on photography and one on punk art, a Basset Hound Beanie Baby, a dice charm for my Pandora bracelet, a Motely Crue t-shirt, the first series of 'In the thick of it' and a signed Gilbert and George exhibition poster! Brilliant. He dropped me off at Liz's and then we all had a wonderful breakfast cooked by Angela - gotta love some Bucks Fizz in the morning! We swapped Secret Santa gifts: Pez loved her 'Come Dine With Me' book and my cider, cheese, swede, milk and nail varnish from Ginn was a great present - thank you, dear! We're now up at Auntie Jayne's in Leicester and the house is very busy with people, cats and musical hats (that rhymed). Because of Auntie Jane's adopted Spanish and Catalonian traditions, we've all just played a game where you hit a log with a drawn-on face, wash your wooden stick between rounds and hope that it 'poos' out some presents. Don't ask...... We managed to beat it enough so it gave us chocolate coins, magnets, bags and edible coal! It will now be adopted as one of our traditions. What a lovely day!
