We bought cheese today.

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*

Singing Ringing Tree. Got it on DVD, if you ever want to relive the experience? (o:

Wow! Thanks!

I'd love another piece of gingerbread but I just can't squeeze any more in. *g*

What - not even a waffer theen meent? Go on, you know you want to!

No. I would explode. It would be nasty.

Re: Trees that Sing and Ring - would you like a copy? (I'd have to find it first, mind. It's in the impenetrable Fairy Forest of my DVD shelves into which many a shy young disc has disappeared, full of energy and hope, never to be seen again - serves them right for eating my gingerbread.

Oh dear; I fear all this rich food has broken my brain.

You know what's worrying? I understood all of that and was quite happy with it!
In other words, only if it's no trouble otherwise I wouldn't mind just borrowing them sometime when they reappear in the search for more gingerbread. Naughty discs!
Thank you

I shall go a seeking tomorrow (leaving a trail of cake crumbs behind me, just in case) and when I find it, I shall make thee a copy. Keep it away from Gingerbread cottages, though. And evil dwarves.
