It came in a box... A box with a lot of sticky tape all over it. Much more sticky tape than it should've. That's because AQIS opened it to check for contraband or drugs or something. Probably more due to the craftsmanship of the contents. Australian customs are pretty finnicky when it comes to things made from wood. The first thing I saw amongst the shredded brown paper was bubblewrap. What could be in said bubblewrap? A groovy painted wooden horse! he's sitting on my desktop computer tower. He's also got a partner in crime. His friend the mouse! I shall call them Louie and Squeak! Louie is the mouse!

I did some more digging and came upon some literary greatness! Douglas Adams' Last Chance to See. I've been meaning to get myself another copy of this after a friend of mine 'borrowed' it many years ago and didn't give it back! I'm not letting this one out of my sight! Then there were the other two awesome literary greats. Some readers suitable for my daughter. My Secret Santa did their job well! My daughter had fun reading Sammy the Seal. Batman is for another day. It was perfectly timed as my daughter goes back to her father in a few days so she can take Batman home with her. She tried to convince me to part with my wildly painted horse but no dice on that one hehe.

I will post pictures but I have to extricate a child from the shower and put her to bed. I'm sure she'll love having her photo taken with her loot!
