Not a great morning. The damn dog woke me at 6.30am to be let out. Hubby is snoring so much that even Call of the Ocean (wave sounds) on my iPod doesn't drown it out. And for joy, I have a headache. Bother. Grumble grumble. Get up, shower, have tea and pain killers. Do some e-mail, read some blogs, think about maybe doing some actual work... Disappointing phone call with Centrelink...
Hark! A knock on the door - not expecting anyone... it's the Postie, with a box from - OMG - my Secret Pal 'Molly' !! I don't believe it!! *faints* Secret Pal 11 only officially started YESTERDAY!
But no - it's all for real.... I'm just about in tears...
My first ever sock book - and a choice one at that! And a magazine I haven't seen before!
The sweetest little candles AND a glass holder. Cinnamon, Vera Cruz Vanilla, and Sage & Citrus. Divine!
Watermelon lollies are part of any healthy breakfast. And as for the chocolate - *swoon*. Don't think I'm sharing. I can make things like this last for ages, too!
And last but totally NOT least - 2 balls of actual real Mission Falls 1824 wool. You know. The stuff we see in ads in American magazines, and don't ever buy... Perfect colour, and SO soft.
I am bowled over, my day has definitely improved out of all sight!
I hope that 'Molly' has as wonderful as Secret Pal as she is to me. Let the fun begin!
WOW! I am shocked too! I knew you got something but I didnt think it was a full-blown cool package-package. Your spoiler is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous, special package. A very on-the-ball Secret Pal, I must say! Actaul, real, Mission Falls...*drool* gorgeous colour.
ReplyDeleteLucky you. I bet you'll have a smile on your face for the rest of the day ;-) Hope that headache subsides and youre feeling better soon.
Good God. You got THAT book? Swoon.

ReplyDeleteAm jealous, much!!
Goodness - what a perfectly brilliant antidote. A definite Serendipity Day. Luverly yarn!!!
ReplyDeleteS*x would be lovely way to speed things along if it wasn't so damn uncomfortable now. I think I'll go to the Wagga zoo and see if any of the rescued kangaroos scare the Squid instead ;)
