too cool for a school of fish

so, Christmas is approaching, i know this because for a variety of reasons:

*Everyone is frantic and running around like a headless chicken trying to buy gifts for their nearest and dearest.
*Music being played in shops has taken a dramatic turn for the worse...
*It's fucking cold.
*A gigantic Christmas tree has been erected outside the church where i live.
*That overwhelming heaviness of excess and greed seems to be clouding the zeitgeist.

I have done no Christmas shopping, and i aint panicked. I just don't know what to get anyone.... so more bemused i suppose.

So, went round to Kerry's to help decorate her Christmas tree and drink some wine, also known as "the blood of Christ".

She had bought a cool pack of baubles that come with pens so u can draw whatever you want on them.... be it the face of Mary, an inverted crucifix, or something a little more simple....

loving how the flash is complementing my masterpiece.

Getting in the spirit. Or maybe the spirit got in me...

the girlies.

i have to say, the tree did look pretty damn swanky. oh how mightily talented we must be.

sticking with the festivities, here's some pics from the winter wonderland that never got posted...

the moose was serenading me. wish y'all coulda heard him. 

so over the weekend i went down to brighton. it was absolutely bone chillingly cold. 

had to wait a while for traffic to fuck off for this photo... 

it was worth it.

the Pavilion in all it's glory...

So I trawled through some pretty awesome shops and found this gem for Milo....

found myself some super cute mittens...

and bought some dudes hand and foot...

love it.
