Happy New Year, my friends! This will be a quickie, as Mr P. and I are heading off down south on a roadtrip in a few days, and we have much to do beforehand. It will be a bit of an art gallery tour, as we plan to visit 6 or 7 on our travels up and down the coast. And we will visit a dear friend who lives in New South Wales, near Sydney.
Did I tell you about a fall I had recently? I was walking in bushland near us, and managed to fall over (in a shallow hole that seemingly had been dug out and covered over) damaging my right foot and left knee rather badly. My foot went black and my knee swelled up! Thank goodness for arnica cream (our doctor told us that research shows it actually does help with bruises).

I have never seen Pocky packets with photos of (school)girls on them! How bizarre! These are my fave - almond crush.
