Some belated New Year's Eve pictures:

Gingerbread Haus

Here is our gingerbread Haus which we made last weekend. Mr C's colleague had a gingerbread house making party. Lots of people in a small flat had fun making the houses. Some people also expanded into small village buildings. We also enjoyed eating Margaret's delicious pasta. Here is the other side of the house:



Apparantly making gingerbread houses is a German tradition. They're usually broken up and eating on boxing day - I think that's right. Ours is still intact, although we have been eating the occasional sweet off the top. I'm not sure how long it will last.

A sheep and cat montage. The one on top is Tyson - a cat I used to live with. Moody whatsit, but we were friends. The sheep lived down the road from me. The fluffy black one underneath is my parents' cat, and the other you've already met.

Someone else's cat

This little monster has adopted two friends of mine. He started hanging around outside the house, and eventually persuaded them to let him in. Then he got food, then he got a space on the floor, then he got a blanket, now he has a bed etc! He's cute though, and it's nice to have a pet. I miss my cat - well, my parents cat (see next post for a glimpse of the fluff-monster).
