A link to a youtube video of Harry Potter sock puppets. It didn't break my brain, but I did laugh and thought it might make others laugh too. Potter Puppet Pals in "The Mysterious Ticking Noise"

Went down to the Otari-Wilton Playcentre fair at Wilton school (after having walked to Wadestown) and went straight to the White Elephant stalls, which I consider to be almost the entire point of going to such fairs - even if there are book stalls with books I want.

Obtained for something under $20:

1 cup of tea
1 Greek vase that's actually appears to be from Greece
1 ice scraper
1 green and black silk-feeling scarf/hair tie thing
2 tiles (coasters)
6 glass coasters with silver swirls
6 nice drinking glasses
1 12 cup filter coffee maker never used and still in its box

I have absolutely no idea where the coffee maker is going to live permanently but I am randomly inviting people up here for gingerbread - yes, I'm going to make some soon - and coffee this evening. Although if I could get someone to bring milk up, that would be really handy, because I'm going to be using the last of it to make gingerbread.

Mmm, gingerbread.

I've been looking in the candy and sweet-sauce section of The Joy of Cooking recently. There are some yummy things in there, including a very nice looking chocolate sauce.

Kinda tired now. Doing nothing sounds like a good plan.

Gingerbread is cooked. Mmmm, warm gingerbread.
