I know it was a week ago but I'm still smiling. My daughter made me a present at school, a keyring in metal of my initial. That was great, I really like it. However, there was something else too.... a low energy light bulb! I told her that not many people would get one of those as a present. She replied: "Not many people are like you!" I suppose not, really. I liked the idea though; an appropriate, environmentally present, but also one which will last a long time. You can start getting all starry-eyed about it casting light over us too, along with any other philosophical and metaphorical thoughts. On the other hand, it just makes me smile.

Perhaps more people should give light bulbs as presents!
