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*

The Singing Ringing Tree? That was one scary programme!
I'm glad you had such a lovely walk.

I'm not as adventurous with my choice of cheeses, but some of those sound really nice.

Have a wonderful evening!

Now that is the best type of cheesy Christmas :)

Stinky cheese and a roaring fire inside and a winterwonderland outside - you are doing Christmas up just right! That neighbor cat may never go home!

I LOVE a really strong, old cheddar! =>}

It all sounds wonderful, cozy in front of the fire.

This Monday's Boston Legal was the slashiest one yet! LOL! =>}

Ooh, cheese is always good. Real cheese that is, not half fat (which isn't even half as good). Enjoy your cheeses! ::drools::

Working on fic is good. I hope you have fun - and stay warm. Brrr!

PS. I got your card, thank you!

Chesse? Now you're singing my tune ;) I must've been a rat in a past life 'coz I could eat cheese seven days a week! I could eat Camembert by the pound but it's expensive here. I haven't heard of the stinky cheese you mentioned, I may have to try a bit of that some time.
