Peas on Earth, Goodwill to all Fen

Happy New Year everyone! Here's to health, happiness and even completed novels in 2010!

I got some amazing parcels and cards over the holiday period. Thanks so much to puddingcat and scribblemoose - I got your lovely cards this morning! Also thank you to kaoticwords, toscas_kiss, rose_gialle, snowballjane and chomiji for your beautiful cards. I opened each one of them with a mooky grin.

buckle_berry sent me haggis! And other edible Scottish things in a food parcel of wonder! Nearly everything is gone now apart from a couple of oatcakes and the actual haggis, which I think we are going to eat tomorrow. Thank you, Scottish person of wonder. <3

emungere sent me not only the COLOURING BOOK OF COCKS, yes, but also a Roger Federer hat in the classy white/pale blue colourway to wear while I am colouring in. Not only that, she also sent me an item that has become known as the 'warming cat' - a handmade cat-shaped bag with a removable inner that you can mircowave and then reinsert into the cat. She made it by hand and it's just a gorgeous thing. It has cymbals for eyes!

Here it is in all its glory, with the RF hat lurking in the background.

Also, Roger and Rafa are enjoying New Year's Eve together in Abu Dhabi. Here they are warming up together on shiny space age tennis court!
