I know this is just the first part of my gift (how lucky am I?) but I had to share because I love it so much.

I was having a pretty terrible day before this got here (my landlord called to tell me he's hiking the rent up 300 quid, at Christmas. How Dickensian is that?) so I got home from Christmas shopping carrying loads of heavystuff, freezing cold etc, and I found this little parcel at the bottom of the stairs. I wasn't expecting it to get here so soon!

Dropped my bags and sat down on the stairs to open it, only to be greeted by this bloody cat with an insane shit eating grin. I just dissolved into giggles.

Isn't it impossible to dwell on the stresses of life when there are people in the world who think that it's a good idea to mount a stuffed, cigar smoking rat on a tiny blue moped? It's a beautiful thing.

Thank you so much, secret santa. You made my week!

Love Tabbysen
