.......for #1 aunt...........

hebsauntyval.....here you go. The smallest doll is about 1cm tall.
Traditionally there should be 7 dolls.

Most people call these Babushka dolls...........but the real name is Matryoshka (pronounced Matrooshka)........Babushka means Grandma..............or more correctly the scarf that Grandmas traditionally wore........Matryoshka originally just meant woman..........but now means nested doll.
Incidentally no one knows why Kate Bush should write a song about a woman testing her husbands fidelity and call it Babushka............would he really be tempted by a note signed Grandma?.............

I haven't blipped for a few days.......pretty down since making a new will...........but I promised no more miserable blips................

Today has been a better day............despite missing out on a beer with hebs...............and United are through to the FA Cup Final.

Tomorrow is the final fitting for the wedding suit.....this time next week the party will be winding down.....heading for the pizza at midnight!

Das vidanya moy padruga.
