Hello Cllr:

Well, glad to hear that Caolr is up and about.. a little. Don't let her overdue it or she'll be flat on her back forever!

So her inhjury has permitted you to snag ANY and ALL identify items from the cards and packages? Very good. And here I was sad that I might have spoiled the game by revealing my identity in the first Pressie box.

Did you let her have the sweets? besides the Ouzo? Of course, it could be the Ouzo candies that have lifted her spirits you know..Ouzo-anything has that effect! Even the fumes!

The Chai is to be consumed whenevr she'd like and is supposed to have medicinal qualities if you believe all that alternative nonsense. Last year is was Chai that everyone here was drinking, then Rooibos now its Yerba Mate or White tea. What next, Pine needles? Buffalo Chips? We are nothing over here if not slaves to trends. The chai's not so bad, I'd simply rather have a nice cup of some strong black Tea or green..so long as it isn't tarted up.

SO what am I supposed to do with the Salami and Panatone if I can't fob them off on you and Carol? nobody HERE wants them!
Okay..since getting answers out of Cllr is like pulling teeth, I'll try again...

Okay..so..no froo-froo hair thingies...

howsabout nail polish? Does she do her nails? Lipstick? I'm not asking for the heck of it..I actaully have in my big box of random accumulated pressies..some nice nail laquer and fine lipstick.

The only pressie that remain here with me arethe apprael pressies which may not get sent this week. If I do get around to them, she'll have them in time for 12th night.

RIght now I'm trying to make a few cassette tapes of nice winter music for her and figure out how to burn a CD of my grandfather's folk tales from tapes I collected of him before his death. If I can manage that, would she like such a thing?

When you can Cllr, give me some more hints and play the game with me!

Thanks
