Apologies to Erica, not wanting to rub it in or anything, but maybe you should have obeyed your girlie instincts and gone for the Barbie advent calendar instead. Actually, I've been reliably informed that the 101 Dalmations one contains both milk AND white chocolates, so that outdoes both of us, doesn't it? Well, hello and glad tidings to you all! No snow yet, but it's blooming cold outside. Probably a good job that there's no snow because London snows, though romanticised by Suede if I remember correctly, just turn into a horrible poo-brown sludge after a couple of hours. Nonetheless, my nose tingles and glows rosy when I step outside and I'm feeling so festive I'm even considering sending Christmas cards this year. I haven't quite got around to thinking about shopping, but it's no fun unless you leave it until Christmas Eve now, is it? I'm jealous of those of you able to have B&S dreams. I can't dream at all, at least not in this country. I can dream abroad, especially when I'm sleeping high up. Last time I was in Italy, my hotel room was on the fourth floor of a hotel in the old part of Bergamo which is right on top of a high hill (in other words, I was very high up) and I dreamt I was in a kitchen where a kind man was making chocolates. (Could I make up this bit and say it was monsieur Murdoch? No? Oh well). He had big pans full of melted chocolate on the stove and he kept feeding me spoonfuls. And do you know what? I could still taste the chocolate in my mouth when I woke up. That was most enjoyable, I can tell you. I've just read this message back to myself and it sounds a bit posh. Not sure what to make of that. It seems mullet-mania has hit various parts of the media - I've seen three different websites plus numerous magazine articles in the past month. Plus a mullet make-over with that hairdresser bloke on Richard and Judy. He got a couple of housewives and gave them a modern mullet. And very nice they looked too. Am I right in thinking that the Beastie Boys are responsible for these shenanigans? Didn't their magazine have an entire issue devoted to Michael Bolton's ex-haircut of choice? I blame you, Beasties! Right, that's all. I'm cooking cous-cous for friends tonight. Yum and, indeed, yum.
