My Birthday and Christmas presents this year were both very welcome and really brill.
Here they are grouped on an armchair as they would have been back when I was a kid.
A fleece, a handful of great books, fine modelling brushes and plastic glue, vintage toy stun gun (thanks Bill), toy rings including the Flash and an older Superman Kryptonite ring, a bundle of small vintage toys, a beautiful Ugly card (thanks Arto), a gorgeous wooden picture, spiced soap, Reece's peanut chocolates, a special home-made Hot Wheels box from my Grandson and a big uber-cool box of Micronauts parts from my daughter [I cant say Son-in-Law too as this year we did Secret Santa for adults for the first time with a budget of £50 each. My daughter got me as it turned out!]
Whilst mooching in Malton, I also treated myself a bottle of Southern Comfort on offer at Morrisons and to a Christmas Radio Times, a sort of tradition I have and the only time I buy one, At £5.99 its a gift in itself but its not the beautiful tome of woodcut illustrations it once was. Still, there's lots of Xmas ghosties, ghoulies and some sci-fi in the TV and radio listings., which I'll ring and watch/ listen to sometime. They're about the only things worth a festive hoot in there too IMHO!
Do you still get a Radio or TV Times UK readers or a TV magazine where you live in the world?
My friend Paul Vreede kindly sent me a fantastic box of Hot Wheels Rrrrumblers and a gaggle of original Star Wars toy figures customised by Paul in the 1980's. More on these later!
