Today has been a great day! A great day! I repeat – a great day!!!!  Started with coffee/tea in bed and the beginning of a day’s long present orgy. We thought we’d open a couple in the morning. Proceeded to move from bed into living room and hyped up on more caffeine we got stuck into the pile of pressies, however (surprisingly) leaving a few for the afternoon!! (After the walk to the top of the hill and back, yes, we are working off some of that chocolate!) I am pleased, J is pleased  and Frida is pleased. I think we just got it really right this year. A lot of presents and no duds! Just the right thing. I got a lot of things I did not have on my wish list, so did J but we still loved all the things we got! Tres Bien! For you who  know me well you will not be surprised to know that the best present was a leaf blower!! Yes, did beat all the other presents including all the lovely girly pressies. I just love it! Have been meaning to buy one but have not got around to it so have been sweeping like a maniac instead. Now, job done in a jiffy!!! The only thing that might beat the leaf blower are the tickets to the tennis next year!! I am excited and can’t wait to go!!! (Sasja are you jealous?) J thought the best pressies from me this year were the wallet and the fish smoker!!!

Here are a snapshot of some of our pressies today;
