i have the best grandparents in the world!!

after a long day of doing work, which, by the way, is actually starting to take place now, i returned home to find a parcel sitting on the table for me. that's right. a parcel. now mail is always exciting. in any form. but parcels have something extra exciting about them. and there it was. a parcel. an exciting parcel. an unopened exciting parcel. and it deserved attention.

and after demolishing (none of this, undoing the string and gently prying off the sellotape to save the paper) the first layer, i discover christmas wrapping paper! and that can only mean one thing... my first christmas present!! hurrah! the paper is green with little santa claus' skiing through the snow (for those of you who like visual images).

so, i got mail. i got mail in the form of a parcel. i got mail in the form of a parcel that turns out to be a christmas present.

and it is sitting unopened next to me.

i love my grandparents heaps. thanks very much.
