Precious cargo



Here are the chocolates I received from the girl at soccer. It was, as everything is over here, wrapped up very carefully in shiny paper with a gold bow and sticker on it. It was a bit disappointing to find so little chocolate in there though! And how about the bubble wrap situation. I didn't realise that choccies were so precious! In case you can't make it out through the plastic, they are wee Scotty dogs. It is of course the thought that counts, but when you think that she probably paid about $5 for it and it is mostly cardboard and bubble wrap... bit of a worry.

I have yet to wrap my head around this too. I got a little box with a pearly ribbon and a real bell for valentine's day. I'm too scared to open it cos its so precious looking it seems as if it needs some kind of ceremony before its quaint sanctimoniousness is breached to get at the little morsel of confectionery inside.
