fun and games

take an "old school" board game the rules and some geese a few hours and a massive family row later tidy up the box and forget about it for the next decade or so

sunday and it's raining

Andrew is having piano lessons downstairs in the kitchen

Archie is on the bed snoring

might make some hot chocolate and plan some adventures

new toasty socks

a really thoughtful gift

I adore the colour and they are supersoft

they deserved a photoshoot enlisted help from my trusty, though unruly photography assistant as you can tell from this picture

he does not follow closet visits and has little interest in cute pics

just starts shooting randomly from the hip

from le chat en oeuf

to le chat sur le tapis boeuf

have no idea if the wine actually tastes like pee de chat ?

love the label so much, I don't care

from tophats

to pumpkins

headless lady

says; the weekend starts here!

masterchef

glass of wine on the ready for tonight's episode....2 questions however:

why has it turned into X factor?

where are the veggie cooks?

as I was waiting, grumpily and freezing through several layers of clothes, for the lights to change

I noticed the knitted "traffic light-warmer"

I actually managed a frozen smile before I cycled off

pied piper 70's style

around about the same time as reading le train fantome's blog about her childhood film; peau d'ane

I found this lp of one of my favourite childhood's telly series at the flea

the series used to scare me half to death as it was about the adventures of children trying to find their way home after being abducted by the pied piper

kids now would probably find it incredibly lame and about as scary as a christmas cracker

I also still find those scary by the way

more small things

and one large and in charge..

sunday and small things
