We bought cheese today.

[panik]

The Christmas cheese, from the wonderful cheese stall on Chorley market; spent £16 on eye-wateringly strong and perfect Somerset cheddar, a wonderful-looking slab of Stilton, a Camembert, some Dovedale Blue, some organic Lancashire and Stinking Bishop! yay! I've always wanted to try it.  Also some truly yummy looking organic lemon-butter shortbread and topped up the mince pies.

I got the last-minute cards off including those with Top Gear discs in, then went for a long walk in the frosty hills. It was SO gorgeous - slippery - deadly so in places, but beautiful. The becks and streams are frozen solid, including the little waterfalls - it looks like the Singing Ringing Tree out there.

Now we're drinking wine and  toasting our toes beside a roaring fire; next door's cat has come in for a warm and showing no sign of leaving any time soon. We have Boston Legal to watch, there's an interesting looking documentary on Unity Mitford at 9 and it's the last eppy (gasp! no! sob!) of The Mighty Boosh on BBC3.

And tomorrow, nothing to do but work on my fic.

Life is good sometimes. (o:

ETA: Boston Legal Denny and Alan squee! Hand holding, cuddling, sniffing... Can Boston Legal get any slashier? Well... ::hopes...:: *G*

You'd be *very* welcome! A fangirl Christmas, now that would be something; we could get very drunk and read fic to each other by the fireside... (o:

Ah; I dream of such a Christmas. Alas, my actual holiday will be nothing like as much fun. ::sigh::

Oh how I love that icon...
