Pegasus II  coming in 2014
Shadows coming in 2013

Just in time . . .

 

. . . to solve all those troubling last-minute Christmas gift-idea-lacks.  Chiquitar sent me this link a fortnight ago and I would like to say that I’d saved it till now for maximum impact* but the truth is I lost it.** 

            I love it that the actual working bit is just right out there like the All Stars with the velvet gown***, and that the commentary doesn’t know how seriously to take it.  Hint:  some of my best friends are 60-year-old secretaries who like chunky jewelry, and I’m giving them copies of The Graveyard Book or The Bell at Sealey Head or House of Many Ways for Christmas.

 * ie, just how desperate are you for a Christmas present for that cousin who watches Austin Powers for fashion tips? 

** My email is like that.  Yes, it’s still like that.^  However, come 1 January or so I’m going to ask everyone who hasn’t yet had their klutz klub membership card to re-email me, and we’ll try again.  

^ Its latest cunning wheeze is that if it doesn’t like someone, it draws a line through them and then redownloads them with a {SPAM} warning.  I think it’s just jealous of the real spam filter.  However, I seem to be getting most of my email . . . at the moment, she says, glancing around nervously. 

*** I have, actually, since you ask
