It was far better than the crap they've let loose earlier
That's exactly what I meant by "better than I thought" :silly:

Had a browse in a charity shop, tutting at the expensive pricing of the Barbies (£5 for a ratty-looking doll!) then discovering a bunch of ponies - fakies - but hidden amongst them....


... G1 Parasol!


Woo-hoo, I found a G1 in the wild!  :frolic: :banana:


She is marked in a few places, will post photos after giving her a spa treatment  :cool:

Birmingham's Christmas Market!

I hope that next year we still get to have those, since a lot of them come from Germany and yeah...now I'm sad.

But Christmas market! Yay!

Mmmmm, Snowballs! Very tasty! They look nice in my cocktail glasses as well; I'd been trekking round the charity shops at the weekend and found some really cute glasses with pale pink, purple and blue balloons on them and the light yellow colour provides a lovely background for the design. You can't beat kicking back with something tasty under a nice, warm blanket on a cold night. :D

They installed self-checkout stations at our local supermarket and now shopping is so much easier!

I wish they would do that in the M&S near my parents' home. Where I lived before that was the norm because of how busy they were, as all the checkouts AND the self service would be busy. Here when it gets busy...it's just mayhem.

I have to choose between catching the bus (since here has hardly any) or buying stuff sometimes.

But I should end this on a happy note.

I have finally managed to get back to reading proper fiction books in English after four years of basically reading nothing but academic texts (half in Japanese). Yay me. :D

Our local professional bassoon players set up a Christmas bassoon ensemble mall performance open to all bassoon players in the area every year and the performance was this evening. I haven't been able to be active in any ensembles lately unfortunately, so getting to do this was very nice for me.

That was the best thing about leaving university, being able to read fiction books! Congrats! :thumb:




I've made the final payment of my student loan and is now 100% dept free :joy:.

So as I mentioned before, my supermarket has this special offer where you get tiny little houses with each €15 spent on groceries, so you can build your own winter village (it's really adorable, almost every building features a familiar brand name, I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff!). I collect them, but it's a very expensive "hobby" because they are blind bags.

Anyway, today they had a swap meet at the supermarket where you can trade your doubles, but I'm too chicken to attend stuff like that. So my husband volunteered to go for me! I think it's super sweet of him, and he got me some of my most wanted houses. :D :heart: Now it's almost complete!

In box, but not for long... (I've kept the box though, because it's very pretty.)

Freedom! And she's got her priorities in order, straight after the tea. The caption on the mug has been censored because while it's highly amusing and I find it very relatable, I'm not sure that it's entirely Arena-appropriate.

I also got a lovely surprise at work today, a tin of shortbread biscuits and an adorable Christmas card! :D

I was worried I would have to pre-wrap the christmas present (a two-volume book set) in wrapping foil before putting the actual wrapping paper around it so that it wouldn't move around loose in there and potentially damage the paper, but it turns out it already came wrapped by the seller so all I have left now is the regular present wrapping :biggrin:
