Chocolate. Monkees. Chocolate. Corsages.

Have you seen this advert for Lynx - or Axe as it's called in other countries?










Apparently the advertisers are working on a girlfriend for him ......

...... they haven't got very far .....

Were that to be true, they could do worse than to ask Michaela to make her, as Michaela knows a thing or two about chocolate. She sent me a whole slab of this divine chocolate cake when I correctly guessed how many pounds she had lost one week.

How ironic that she's sworn off the stuff and yet is forcing it upon those of us with weaker wills. Force away, Michaela, force away.

Pretty soon there was only one piece left.

...... and that didn't last long.

Moving on to the Monkee segment of this post, Joe's big sis was kind enough to mail me some pictures of Toffee in his new home .....

..... he settled right in with the natives ......

...... especially this pair .......

This is what he likes best about his new pad ......

..... chilling with Joe and the Playstation ..... I think he even lets Joe win sometimes .....

(please note that I don't usually post pictures of other people's children on my blog, but I did check with Joe's parents that it was ok.) (...... hmm .... I wonder if anyone thought to check with Joe .....)

Moving seamlessly back to chocolate (and corsages), Maxine very kindly sent this pretty package and lovely card recently, as a treat for me after I organised a raffle for Ellie ......

..... it contained these beautifully soft corsages and truly decadent chocolate truffles .....

..... that tasted heavenly, especially right before my tea ..... don't tell my girls, I'd never live that one down (plus they'd have wanted one). Thank you Maxine, for such a kind thought and lovely gift.

Finally, do you need more purple in your life?

Just asking ......

(my monkee making mojo appears to be back in the room ..... phew!)
