Today Don and Joe/Frank ventured out to acquire Joe/Frank’s Christmas present.

Today Joe/Frank has been occasionally using it as a prop for posing, shirtless, in front of the many mirrors in the haus, and playing discordantly.

But mostly someone other than the intended recipient has been having a good deal of fun with it.

After this evening it will be packed away until Christmas (except I suspect someone will sneak it out during quiet times).

I do love the whole single, terribly expensive combined Christmas/Birthday present, especially when someone else does the shoppering. Though I have scored the worst present task of all – ferrying the lovely Joan to ikea for her dressing table.
