Dear Santa,

Your reply has been speedy considering the time of year, so cheers for that.

Regarding the DSLR, I’ve been told the Nikon D40 for a cheapun (ish) or the D60 if you’re feeling flash.

Here is a proper list, as requested:

Nikon DSLR

Halfway to Hollywood by Michael Palin

Drawing for the Artistically Undiscovered by Quentin Blake and John Cassidy

Laurel and Hardy DVD boxset (Tesco have it for £35.  Or your elves can make one.  I’m not sure which works out cheaper.)

underwater MP3 player by Speedo (I know!)

nose plug for swimming (I’m sick of breathing water.  It burns so much.)

I think that’s it.  I’ll let you know if I think of anything else.  Love to Mary and tell Rudolph that it will be a Pink Lady.  I’ll leave a bag for you to give to the others, too.

Fix up, look sharp,
