And now for something completely different...

I had thought I might blip the scrummy Christmas dinner which was to be the highlight of my day when I ventured into the 100 yen shop and came across these little beauties! The 100 yen shop (65p at the current exchange rate) is like the UK's Poundland but SO much better! With an eye watering range of stock it's amazing what you discover and these chair & table socks made me chuckle. I didn't know I needed them until I saw then. But in a country of apartments with wood and tatami floors they make a lot of sense and come in an alarming range of colours and patterns!

Oh I love gadgets and I pride myself on keeping at the cutting edge of technology.
