Only 9 sleeps till Christmas now! Gosh! Konnie Kapow loves Christmas! Her favourite Christmas things are baubles, birdies, glitter and those German biscwits that are kind of gingery?! What are they called?!
What's the best Christmas movie ever then?! Bad Santa was on the other night, Mr and Konnie Kapow LOVE Thurman Merman, I wonder if he would sit for a painting?! Other good ones are: Swiss Family Robinson, A Muppet Christmas Carol, Elf, Die Hard and of course Home Alone.
It's not all about Christmas though, you're still allowed to have a birthday in December like both of Konnie Kapow's sisters
and Mr Kapow's nice auntie! Today is Helen Slater's birthday! We had a 'taped off telly' copy of Supergirl at the Kapow homestead which my sister and I watched relentlessly. I think it is still probably one of my favourite ever films!Speaking of Supergirl, one of my best loved work colleagues has been in hospital recently and I have made a bionic woman get well soon card for her. There are a few new Christmas cards too however I am struggling to get a decent set of photographs for the folksy sight. The light outside has been too poor and my wee camera isn't very good indoors, even on macro setting. Sigh. I'll just have to wait for a nice sunny day!

Gustave Eiffel, French engineer and architect - can you guess his most famous work?!
J. Paul Getty, American oil tycoon
