He also has a rather natty wand, to match the tiara/cape/wings combo.

Things I would love to do this month*
1. Write a 50,000-word novel as part of NaNoWriMo
When I can't get beyond a few blog posts each month, I suspect this one will have to remain a pipe dream.
2. Bake more cakes
This might avoid the situation last night at 10.30pm when we realised there were no cakes or biscuits in the house, and for some reason, chocolate buttons just wouldn't do. There was no other option for it - I had to bake some scones (well, one rather large scone round, as it turned out). We demolished most of said large scone round at 11.10pm with lots of butter and jam. And yes, we did feel like fat pigs afterwards, but we were very smug and happy piggies.
3. Watch more telly
Aside from an episode of Merlin (which was mainly just an excuse to lust after JRT), all I appear to have watched last month was a couple of episodes of West Wing (yes folks, it is indeed the year 2000), some appalling kids' nonsense called Space Pirates, and the sainted Shaun the Sheep (please let there be a new series soon as the DVDs are about to wear out). It might be time to broaden my horizons.
Right, that'll do for starters. I'm sure there's more that will occur to me, but I can't stop - I'm off to eat the last bit of scone before Orb nicks it.
*UPDATE: I've just realised it's still October, isn't it. Especially as it's Halloween and all that. If you're halfway through reading this, just put it off until tomorrow - it'll make far more sense.

ad-tastic
OK. I don't normally watch ads (too busy not watching telly), but it's the middle of the Studio 60 ad break, and I've just got to say:
- Will somebody shut Dervla Kirwan up? I'm sure she's a lovely woman, but she's not just annoying, she's beyond annoying. Especially when she's plugging blatantly summery food and it's pouring down outside.
- What is it with M&S women on trains parading about in their underwear? You only usually get that on the 2am express from Newcastle to Durham...
Update: ooh, Rupert Penry-Jones in the Tesco ads. Nice. This advert-watching isn't that bad, you know...

Handmade by artisan weavers by moonlight
Best ever line from a catalogue, for all the wrong reasons:
"Jo Wood Organics is an ultra-luxurious collection of organic bath and body care products, and a natural extension of Jo Wood's passionate commitment to organic living, both in her family's day-to-day life and on the road with husband, guitar legend and Rolling Stone, Ronnie Wood."
Say no more.
