He thoroughly enjoyed Chaucer Camp and learned a lot, so if you are ever in the mood to discuss Chaucer, you know who to call. It&#8217;s hard to believe he was gone for a full month, maybe because I wasn&#8217;t particularly productive. I didn&#8217;t even make it through the chore list he left me (and yes, he left me a chore list).<br \/>\nBut anyway, he brought me some goodies, and it&#8217;s clear he knows me pretty well. The candy bar above is by Nestle, and apparently the whole &#8220;It&#8217;s not for girls&#8221; marketing campaign has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. Peter and I, however, thought it was really funny, and poo on you, Nestle, because I ate the WHOLE THING with nary a man in sight! It is a nice, solid milk chocolate bar.

He told me I would have crapped my pants, and he&#8217;s probably right. He got me two nice pieces of Liberty fabric. He felt the floral was representative of British prints, and he knows I like paisley and orange colors.<br \/>\nHe also brought me some tea from Harrod&#8217;s, a little tote emblazoned with teacups and saucers (the photo is on <a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/supereggplant\/\">my flickr site<\/a> if you are curious), and some fun wrapping paper, some of which I cannot really display, as it has inappropriate language on it (some of you probably don&#8217;t know this, but I have a great fondness for cuss words).
