Yay, Happy Christmas ACD and all who sail in her

I made a big batch of funky festive truffles yesterday - go on, have a couple!

It really brings to life cultures from around the world. http://www.tropenmuseum.nl/ The Bijbelsmuseum (Bible Museum) - I stumb...

Got a rare opportunity to take a couple of days off, been working too hard for months, having no luck getting hold of the magic herb... So... I've booked myself a little solo trip to the Dam, arriving Wednesday lunchtime, returning Friday afternoon :D Just enough time for some quality chilling and s...
