The list revisited

 

Winter is coming, and we saw a really interesting sight with Roomie this morning:

Yes, there was ice on the inside of our window. So, merry christmas everyone, I guess! We ate really good pork-crab dumplings/spring rolls the other day. Since we used cheap crab sticks (which are just made of fish made to taste like crab) there was some really funky colours going on in the mixture:

 Step 1, mmmmm

 Step 2, mums mums

 Step 3, make the rolls, fry them and eat them without taking pictures.

Last week, we had us some pretty snow, it didn't last for long, but it was enough to throw the English traffic into chaos.

I didn't take my bicycle that day, which proved to be a sound decision, as I saw more than one car slide around and bump into the sidewalk. The snowy day was Finnish Friend's birthday, she got a survival kit (including instant noodles, beer and chocolate) as a present, as she is going to study in Spain.


Roomie hatched a nefarious idea yesterday: We could order takeaway on thursday (we're flying away on friday), which sounds like a really good plan.



And last but not least, I realized I forgot a really important part of the wishlist - chocolate. So, here is an updated version, with updates indicated with blue text (I've also stacked all the updates at the beginning of the list, to make things easier).

Something small and practical to store data on to ease my laptop's load. ( doesn't have to be Toshiba like the picture, but preferably a quality brand anyway, for obvious reasons)




 Warm leggings
 Långkalsonger
Pitkät Kalsarit

It's really cold and miserable in England, and some of my old ones are starting to wear thin. . .








Games
(I totally accept preowned (used) games too, if they work, what's the difference?)





Final Fantasy IV (DS)

Heard it's a really good remake of a really good game.

Proffessor Layton and the Curious Village (DS)

I'm also under the impresson that this game is great. 

Some kind of puzzle solving thing.

OkamiDen

Look at that, do I really need a reason?

Only read vol 1 this far. And look at that pretty cover spread!
