Pre-empting Christmas

I'm liking this. Doesn't look like much, does it? A noise maker perhaps? Telescope? Torch? Hmmm my socks are filthy, kindly ignore that.

It's Mog's Christmas present. And it does this. Pretty, isn't it?
It arrived a couple of days ago, and I opened it up, checked it had the right number of parts, and posted it back into its box. And then Mog woke up, and started squawking. And being generally miserable and revolting. So I took it back out of the box again and set it up above her bed.
And she stopped squawking, and started smiling, and settled down for long enough to listen to her music, and fell asleep again.

So it's playing a nightly light show for her now. Which is great - anything which distracts her long enough to trick her into sleep is just fine by me. But now she needs something else to unwrap on Christmas Day.

Or perhaps that was her plan all along.

  1. Looks good - does it have a name and more importantly a retailer (says she thinking of M's xmas grandma cheque winging its way towards his bank account!)?
