Full blooded female   ......Hmmm, I see, very interesting (pauses for thought!)

Sea-green blue and "winter" ...and NOT pastels (duly noted!)

Idiot's guides ...well Cat could not have chosen more of an idiot Santa to guide you! Ethnomusicology (note...consult dictionary) and cooking. Well as the owner of 135 cookbooks I may be able to trump you there!

would certainly give houseroom to anything (CD) by a Mudcatter ...are you sure you know what you're letting yourself in for? Even from this Mudcatter maybe?!!!

a teashirt for bed... ...(strokes chin thoughtfully!)

do you collect anything? ...I could certainly supply the cookbooks and dust!


pottery, embroidery, crochet, gardening, incredibly bad instrument playing ...well we have different hobbies but not a bad list to stimulate the nerve cells!

silver ...but no rings or bracelets or southerly pierced things (makes interesting mental note!)

something that reflects the Santa and well as the Santee, something that is local to Santa, or even handmade ...what luck to have such an "open" and appreciative Santee and I think I could oblige on any or even all of these fronts with a bit of imagination!

not smellies or calendars ...duly noted!

Dear sian, ...it will be a real pleasure to be your Secret Santa and your helpful tints and hips mean that I will undoubtedly devote my own time to this rather than leave it to my useless elves!

Your Secret (Celtic-blooded) Santa!!!
