I went to the ballet last night (The Nutcracker, absolutely magical!) and forgot to finish off my post for today and so you’ll have to make do, temporarily, with some cat pictures. Though there is something of a beauty element involved, as I’m sporting my current favourite lipstick which is called Tango and made by Delilah Cosmetics. Have you heard of them? I have a little post almost ready to go, so I’ll tell you a bit more about them then. Tango is the most brilliant red-for-beginners; it’s light and bright and youthful and I can’t get enough of it!

Anyway, here’s Mr Bear stopping by for a quick cuddle as I set up my lighting for the Ten Top Presents for Under Ten Pounds video. He likes to come and get involved when there’s any kind of unusual activity. He also likes trying to climb the Christmas tree to bat the baubles down, so I think the fact that I had sat myself in front of it made me prime climbing-frame material. Today I’m going to attempt to surround both the cat and the dog in tinsel and baubles and make a “family” Christmas card. I’ll let you know how that goes. Chainmail and protective headgear at the ready…
