Oh wow and thrice woe!

It is Friday night and my home is devoid of pudding. Well, not entirely. I have some mince pies, I have waffles in the freezer that might be eaten with jam and squirty cream, but that is not what I want. What I really want is posh chocolates, and I have none.

I am eating an orange instead. A consolation of January is that it has very good oranges.

ETA Crisis averted, I have violet creams. They aren't quite what I yearn for, but will do as a substitute.

There are times when nothing but posh chocolates will do!

There are! I did find some inexpensive violet creams, though, so they provide some consolation.

A jar of jam fell out of my fridge and splintered all of the floor. I don't often eat jam but I don't like it ominously self-destructing.

My elderly neighbour gave me a box of mince pies to go with the one and a half boxes I have left to eat when I have single-handedly finished the Christmas cake...

That is very unnecessary of your jam, and extremely annoying cleaning up.

Clearly I need to see you in time to get some more Christmas cake.

I have been rejoicing in the orange-studded panettone a friend gave us, and M has been complaining that I like it better than his Christmas cake. Since he knows perfectly well that I don't like rich fruit cake and therefore makes it for himself and visitors, I have very little sympathy. But I also feel the need of chocolate and received none at all for Christmas. Woe.

No chocolate for Christmas? That's terrible! M can complain about your not eating his cake once he has catered to your basic needs. (I do like Christmas cake, but my family were fine with 1 between 8 of us.)

My husband was given a box of Black Magic, which ought to be yum, but are so Not What They Were and none of my favourites happen any more.... very sad!

The decline of chocolates from what they once were is very disappointing.
