Holly-days!

Busy day of course. Recorded onto tape - how old fashioned is that? - two shows for my dad from BBC 4 Louis Prima and Count Basie. I enjoyed them.
Course, this is my favourite Louis Prima song:

And very like when I saw them live, many years ago, the inimitable Count. So cool.

Then, final shopathon in Durham which was busy. The only queues, however, were in Marks and Spencer where I got myself a Snowman cake for my birthday. £12.99 was a bit steep I thought but you're only 54 once, so what the heck.

Managed to get a very chic brooch for Sue's birthday in Past Times' sale so that was good. Also got the slippers I needed in the sale in the market and Pipers had loads of pies so I got two and ate half of one in the market place with a cup of Cafe Nero latte. Excellent.

Back home by 3.00 with lots of other petit bijou cadeaux to sort through before wrapping begins in earnest tomorrow. Now I'm quite tired for having done very little.

Joani texted last night to see if I wanted a party at her place for my birthday so I leaped at the chance because that's what I did last year now I remember and a fun time was had by all. Hence the purchase of the cake. I hope Debra can come with the Film Quiz again. Lynn shocked us all by winning last year.

That's my favorite Jungle Book bit also! I love that song.
