This was a birthday present - perhaps the most beautifully packaged bar of chocolate I've ever seen. I haven't tasted it yet but have high expectations.

Rather getting the wrong end of the stick, my 2 year-old great-niece refers to Hide & Seek as Hide Antique. If she starts doing that literally there will be trouble. 😠👧

'It was from then on Maestro City all the way.'
Leonard Bernstein's daughter on his 'difficult' later phase. You can see this in the 'West Side Story' video and take in some great music along the way. 😖😀

Since my invitation has once again mysteriously been lost in the post I shall tonight watch our Local Celeb's fireworks from my back garden and marvel at How The Other Half Live (and Spend). 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆😀

Sad but amusing to read (in The Oldie again) that John Gielgud ordering flowers went mad at the young assistant who asked his name. When my Local Celeb had the same experience in the pet shop she just smiled and identified herself. True star quality. 🌟ðŸķ

Yesterday I read an article by a man who took his granddaughters to Disneyland Paris for the day where they went on 5 rides for 15 minutes - or '3-minute eyes-wide-shut horrors' as he called them - and queued for 5 and a half hours. Fortunately I have no granddaughters. 😎

The archive of Muriel Spark's private papers runs to nearly 200 feet of shelf space, while her published works cover 14 inches. You can always count on The Oldie for an intriguing fact. ðŸĪ”📚

In the sales I looked at a book of yoga poses and my eyes popped at some of the advanced ones. 'Rest in the corpse position,' it said but I fear that in my case this would be rather too literal. ðŸŠĶ🧘

I was given a pack of these incredible (and locally made) chocolate bars for Christmas. As different from cheap supermarket stuff as Mozart is from The Smurfs.

'Vaughan Williams' invention and style are so powerful and personal that the bare mention of his name conjures up a kind of image, not to be defined in words, but clear as a monument or mountain landscape.'
Richard Capell. RVW seems to inspire writers to eloquence.

My best Christmas present (on the piano as I couldn't find anywhere else to prop it) - a beautiful hare print from the brilliant Sophie Nash - Wildlife Artist.

I find a brief gap in my busy schedule to say Happy Christmas to all. If science could forget about Mars and focus on inventing the self-peeling potato it would be a great help. 😉ðŸĨ”
