The ancestral homelands are much the same but I was pleased to see a little craft and Christmas market in the High Street. I bought some sausage rolls from the Melton Mowbray pork pie man and gave them to my parents. He was also selling big wheels of stilton. There was a lady selling boxes of amazing-looking decorated cupcakes, although in this particular bit of the Midlands it comes out more like 'cayik'. I was tempted to get four cupcayiks for two pounds but my mum had already informed of her plans to carbo load me later that day, so I didn't.
Carbs! I has them.
Also gained this weekend, the "house brick" Christmas cake, two pots of homemade lemon curd, a bottle of my dad's gooseberry wine and a set of second hand letter and number punches I found in the model shop. My mum got, from various of her offspring, a box set of the complete Black Adder serieses, a second hand iTouch because my brother got a new one, and step by step lessons in how to use her new mobile phone. It was a good weekend.
I'm back now and I'm about to tip over the edge of all out panic at the amount of work I have to do this week. I'm aware this a case of 'oh dear, my diamond shoes are too tight', but I'm under pressure to get stuff made, packed and mailed to my non UK customers before the last reasonable posting date. So this coming week is going to be, um, maybe a little fraught. A bit. I emerged from last week as an unwashed, shambling, glue stained figure and am expecting pretty much the same this week. Thank god I missed the Yuletide sign ups.
Oh, I read this Drarry on the train home and really enjoyed it: On One's Knees, Harry/Draco, NC 17. It has very bitter Draco, which I enjoyed a lot.
