Orominuialwen has just left Hobbiton.
Having one of your classes finish more than a month before all your others. And having the final for said class be a take-home test.

Tea. Especially chai. There's nothing better to warm you up on a cold day than a steaming mug.

Sitting in the kitchen trying to revise, and being interrupted by the sudden need of my housemates to be 5 again. We made paper snowflakes and started a collection for Christmas decorations, and we made an extremely irreverent nativity scene. It was great fun.

Christmas is so much fun when you live in a shared house - we used to have a traditional enormous pre-Christmas feast, before everyone went home for the season. One of the blokes would cook it and we'd cram into the living room and eat until we burst. Lovely.

Sent it before and I send it again: Christmas! Fab! I've just come home from an afternoon spent eating and drinking with colleagues and laughing about weird stuff, to a lovely fully trimmed up living room. I've got about 300 white lights and a load of blue ones in the window and its lovely and cosy. Two weeks today I shall be lying on the settee, full of roast beef and gravy and roast taters and sprouts and feeling all content, like any good Hobbit should.

finding a handbag you coveted but didn't really need has been reduced to a no-brainer price And getting nearer to finishing present shopping....

And my beautiful Christmas tree - killing a tree is the environmentally sound option, they are a local crop and it will be recycled
