Other People's Christmasses

I spent Christmas with the Boy's (enormous) extended family. I ate so much I thought I would maybe explode. I ate more seafood in one sitting than I've ever eaten before. Shannon's granddad smoked some Butterfish that S had shot in Wellington and it was so amazing delicious, I was in love. Also, I think I've developed an addiction to mussels <yum>. Also, I played Cranium and was in the winning team more than once! I laugh with glee at my Cranium abilities and dominance.

This is my present from the Boy: YES it is made of Bakelite, YES it is a valve radio, YES it is only ever tuned into the Nat Rad, YES I am the luckiest girl in the world.

The best thing about valve radios is the way they have to warm up before they start . I like the anticipation and the way that the sound eases in. Can you believe that Shannon rebuilt this radio? How clever is he?
