List of presents obtained at Christmas.
From her grandfather: A Christmas cake*. (Note to self, need to remind him I’m happy being single).
From Jack: A new computer system. Well, the authorisation to go ahead and spend what I need building it. Should keep me going for a while.
From Gwen: A home made voucher for a girly shopping trip to London. Cardiff is all very well, but you just can’t get the range you can in London.
From Ianto: Coffee. A lot of his favourite coffee to be able to drink at home.
From Owen: A silly soft toy. God knows why. But it's cute.
*The Christmas cake reference is to a Japanese tradition where Christmas cakes are bought on the 24th, then the price drops dramatically on the 25th December to try and shift them. Young girls are sometimes referred to as Christmas cakes; marriageable until their 25th birthday, then requiring heavy discounts to get married thereafter.
