My Christmas present to myself is 10 days in England. So there.
I have knitted 3 hats since I've been home. The process is exceptionally easy with a round knitting loom, and a delightful, mindless activity to keep my hands occupied.
I'd love to get into theatrical hair and make-up. Prosthetics and fake blood and bruises and wigs are just neat. Sadly I don't believe my work experience affords me much of a chance to get a job in this field without re-training. "Okay, what are your credentials?" "Well, gimme an hour and an angle grinder and I could probably make you some scissors..."
I got a little creative in the bar the other day and came up with a tasty new drink. If it already has a name I can't find it, but its an ounce of peach schnapps, two ounces of white wine (i used a chilled Pinot Grigio), two ounces of grapefruit juice, and a splash of club soda. It is very refreshing and not too sweet. I shook it and strained it into a balloon glass filled with ice. Garnish with a grapefruit slice.
Ow, I just burned my tongue on hot tea.

Have a fantastic time in London!
You are quite the little knitter - and I am proud! ;-)
I say that if you want to do it, just do it. This is the time in our lives when it's ok to start at the bottom. So just do it.
That drink sounds delish!!!
I hope the tea was good, at least.
