OK, so it's nearly June and I should be getting my beauty sleep, ready for the hard slog come November when we all have to get up and start working. I tell you, in elf time this is the middle of the night.

HOWEVER. A plaintive cry was heard from a Ms Flute what got left without a pressie last Xmas and so SOMEONE had to get up and do something about it. (A bit like when the dog needs to pee in the wee small hours, that is). So here I am, up and about, but not quite awake yet.

Fear not Ms Flute, there will be a gift winging your way but it may take a couple of weeks - could even be Christmas in July, although I hope that you don't have the commensurate weather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
