'I want that one, that one and that one!'.

[8] On a ballet-related note, was I the only one who got much toffee-sweet pleasure out of watching the BBC adaptation [9] of Noel Streathfield's Ballet Shoes [10], starring Emma Watson and Emilia Fox last Christmas?  Note to self: Must find faded floral tea dress that I have either left at my mum's house or in a hotel in Paris.... oh well, if I go to Paris and retrieve the dress and pick up a pair of Repetto's then it would be the perfect conclusion to this post...
