Caitlin stayed over a couple of weeks ago and one afternoon, our helpers flung her into my bedroom and she, of course, was pleased to investigate Godma’s room – to see what goodies she could ransack. Needless to say, she got bored of my Gene Simmons doll, the mini Rubik’s cube and even the Beauty and the Beast DVD. Now, I love my god-daughter but without any ammunition, I had no clue what to do with this child.
So, we played dress up.
A hair-clip ingeniously held my short skirt together, she chose the purse, I chose the accessories and off she went to wake Gammy and Grampa.
I have a new favourite drink at Charlie’s (which for some reason, I’ve eaten at, like, 4 times in the last 3 weeks. It’s called Kopparberg, from the town proper in Sweden, and there are different flavours – the Pear rocks. (Wiki tells me this is the number one selling pear cider in the world!) It’s really good, give it a go – if you can’t remember the name when you get there, just ask for the “pear cider”. It comes in a can.
I have also managed to get my hands on a copy of Gleaming The Cube. Oh, the days when I was in love with Christian (Slater, at the time, not Bale), when skateboards were the rage, when Tony Hawk didn’t have video games… (Sidenote, I love how in this movie, Tony Hawk is in it and puts a Tony Hawk sticker on the plane window).
Here’s to yesterday.
