They're also made from sugarpaste, which I'd coloured red with the wobbly jelly sort of food colouring before making berries out of it, and varnishing 'em. Thought it'd be more sensible than using real holly berries (them being toxic an' all), and I didn't want to buy a whole of pack of cranberries and have most of it go to waste...
that i can do. when the house is clean again that is...

yep. sigrunn might return though, but i don't know. i'm most likely off to bergen. sigrunn is going to tanzania for the next semester. the other people living here might stay, but might also go. i need a fresh start or something new at least. 5 years is a long time for someone who hasn't really settled (or wanted to for that matter).

Isn't he? It's a good job he doesn't understand much English, or his ego would be the size of Jupiter by now, what with all the cooing over him I do...
(Thank you :-) I was pleased with it! It looked suitably posh for me to feel okay about my step grandmother seeing it on Christmas day, at any rate...)
