Finally replaced the shoulder bag I broke a few months back (I got sick of traipsing through London). I ended up with a Kipling bag, purple. I was in a rush, there's a Kipling shop in the mall and it wasn't horribly expensive. :) It's big and the strap is comfy. So I'm happy. Now I have to get re-used to actually having a big bag and being able to take books, etc with me...

I also received these illuminated alef-bet cards I ordered in January and had delivered to my parents' (before she put a PayPal option for UK delivery). They're gorgeous. So, gratuitous plug for them and the artist, blackherring.

Zoe is back. Her hunger strike cost us an extra £78. Thank you, kitty cat.

(whoops, misread bill; that included the 2nd half of the boarding. So she only cost us an extra £23...)

I don't really watch them and I think they're mainly nonsense, but we did catch the beginning before going to bed. It was so cute when Nick Park and Steve Box went up to accept the award for Wallace & Gromit. They looked so genuinely pleased and excited. Even though Nick Park has won 3 before for Best Animated Short, he still looked like he was really surprised by it all.

And it was a fabulous film. I love Wallace & Gromit.
