    Hello and thank you, audiodave! :) And also, thank you Sian_of_the_Dead for making the lovely Christmas tree ornament that Dave included in his gift to me (so glad he stayed out of your way while you laboured over it! ;) ) I enjoyed the card and I had to giggle about your explanation about the kachina dolls, which will reside under my pillow and hopefully free me of all my worries. :D I enjoyed the CD, and the candies (YUM! Especially the Parma Violets!) I also like package of cute little froggy candles, which were a perfect chioce because I do love frog stuffs as well as candles. :) Thank you kindly, and I hope you enjoyed a wonderful holiday!

    Sorry for the delay in responding. I unplugged over the holidays. :)

    even flow - question mark - glad it finally arrived :)

    Perhaps I shouldn't have left the sweets/candies loose in the box :oops: ... may be it took so long as the customs guys must have been trying to work out what was in the box :lol:
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    No problem! I'm glad you liked it :) I made all our tree decorations and some for Ms. Haiku (my SS) so it seemed only fair to make you one too :D (he's very good at staying out of my way for things like that ;) )

    BD - Thank you so much for the license plate!! :shock: :D I took 'Pearl Jam 2' in the end. Now, I know it was meant for my bike but I love it so much I don't want to risk losing it in an off road stint :oops: It currently resides in the place I spend the most time - my desk at work. It has pride of place next to my picture of Ed on my pin board. Dave's (PJ1) is on our fridge at home under my Bettie Page US license plate and next to all our PJ stickers. Thank you soooooooo much! Great present! :mrgreen:
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    same here... it seems people are putting in a bigger and better effort every year... and more thought into it each year too. I'm kinda glad I didn't as anything I woulda sent woulda been crap in comparison.
