I was watching the cricket this morning, which was a bit ordinary, but I told [livejournal.com profile] shocolate  that it was bound to improve.

Them the lovely [livejournal.com profile] pseudicide  PMed me and inveigled me into comic-buying adventures rather than my planned day. I came home, and it had improved! So I started to watch again. And Australian Peter Siddle took a hat trick -- which is to say claimed the wickets of three England players for you turkey-stuffed and stuffing Americans and yes, that is bad because I support England in cricket. And the last one was Stuart Broad and I was looking forward to watching him get all sweaty.

So now I have turned the telly off, in hopes of a fine display of tail-end batting away from my bad influence.

Oh, you! It's all just a series of giggleworthy moments for you, young lady ;-) (Waxing my Barbour!)

I am easily amused, it's sad but true. :D

Been wearing my hat every single day. It's cold as a witch's tit in London and I am SO grateful to have a warm head, you don't even KNOW. Getting something into the mail for you shortly...

Yay! I'm so glad you like it. I hear it is going to snow this weekend, I may need to grab some possum wool when I am next in New Zealand and make you a more insulated one with ear flaps ...

Alas, the photo is not working, but if that was a cute Australian possum, then yes. They are feral in New Zealand and destroying habitats left right and centre, so there is an industry built up around the necessary cull of them. They're still protected in Australia, though, because they are very cute and appropriate here! Not the slightly evil American sort, because they'd take your fingers off.
