Wednesday 26th November - scavenger hunt; house

 I received two different Christmas houses today;

One from my daughter;

This is a Roger la Borde Advent calender. It's currently just two pieces of really stiff cardboard. Every day you press out a precut shape and slowly assemble the gorgeous tree house. Only five more sleeps!

And one from my son;

A cute little battery lantern. I've put it with this side facing. The other side shows Father Christmas but obviously he won't be arriving for a month - yes - just a month from now.

I love thought of living in either of these little houses. I'm also certain that I'd hate the reality! 

Once December arrives I shall pick up where I left of with the Corinne Lapierre Advent Calendar I was sewing last year. I'm about halfway through. 

This is what it should look like when it's finished. 

I remember I had a problem with the Christmas tree scene, and for some reason swapped over the Daddy Mouse and the little girl mouse. I'm looking forward to getting it out again.

Poem

I'm holding on to yesterday's for another day.

Music

I'm still in the mood for Scriabin Preludes, another from op 11. This time no. 15 in Dflat, another one that I still enjoy playing. 

One of the Chalet School books by Elinor Brent-Dyer mentions a pupil learning some Scriabin for a school concert. That's all I remember... neither the pupil's name, nor the piece.
