Life for Lola

I look a day over 34 today. It was my birthday yesterday and I was jolly lucky to receive a cornucopia of gifts which I opened with glee yet polite reservation - it doesn't look good, a girl of my age, sitting up in bed ripping wrapping paper in haste. I was very grateful for my gifts - especially a stripey scarf from Karen which is now part of my capsule wardrobe which I intend to match all my outfits to.

I also got Nigella's book "Feast" which, like the girl herself, is large, chunky and beautiful photographed. I look forward to doing bang bang turkey this Christmas.

A call from the ladyfriend this morning has confirmed my suspicion that a Pheasant has landed in the garden. I heard its distinctive voice whilst in the bath this morning. I ran to a window awash with steam but couldn't see a thing and went back to my strip wash. The ladyfriend however, now has it in her sights so it looks like game for the table afterall!
