It had one long horn and one big eye

Just for marjory, and any other fans of train-wreck needlework, I present a photograph of the purple bag. Just to make absolutely sure that the child in question learns to despise his mother's friends, I've added a jaunty purple hat to go with it.

If nothing else, it will give his parents plausible deniability when they abandon him in a blackberry patch.



Things made of purple fleece are very hard to photograph in artificial light, you know.

Today, Mr Sainsbury had on special offer cartons of fruit juice which describe themselves as "mojito without the rum". I brought one home out of interest, where Frances and I judiciously, carefully and immediately added the rum back into it. Waiting in the fridge is "cosmopolitan without the vodka".

The missing-vital-ingredient mojito stuff is quite nice even just over ice on its own.

It is also bizarrely good when used as a mixer with Midori. Not least because the combination virtually *glows* - seriously: luminously Simpsons-radioactive bright green! Even if you don't want to drink it, it's worth remembering for any time you need to costume as a mad scientist! ;)
