Ah Sins, if only you knew how fiction mirrors truth. Cute little kitten Raven bought us a present Friday evening and carefully placed it under the tree we have waiting for its baubles... half a mouse gift wrapped in intestines.
Being a bad kitty he didn't wait until Christmas and started to unwrap it there and then.
Meanwhile, I am all St Nicholas'ed out after our concert last night, and if I never see another bloody timpani it will be too soon!
Pass me the sloe gin, got to keep the throat supple, 2 more carol concerts and 2 more carol singing sessions to go!
