I did mention that I was a coffee fiend and lazy. And direct from the frozen wastelands of Canada I was sent this awesome foldable coffee cosy which converts any kind of container into a coffee mug - instantly rendering the concept of washing up dirty mugs nothing but a distant memory.

And espresso beans... in chocolate! Possibly the finest legal high known to man - and delicious to boot (or as you canadians might say 'boot').

Thankyou fine Canadian friend for your kind gift of a Christmas Day that will see me so wired that i'll probably be up and about enjoying it right through to New Years Day.
