April 8, 2007, 5:34 pm : Happy Easter

Well, it’s time for yet another of the Christian holidays the whole country gets time off for. At least we can still say “Happy Easter” to people without the PC police raining down, and i get chocolate, which is never a bad thing. I slept in but my sister got me up so she could give me some of her egg, usually i’m annoyed when she gets me up, but i’ll forgive her this time. I don’t normally like holidays, while i’m at home most of the year anyway, the holidays tend to wear me down, i actually have to spend time with my family instead of just in my room. This year isn’t so bad so far though, maybe it’s because Christmas is still fresh in my mind, it wasn’t terrible either but its a much longer hoilday which means more time with the family. Of course, my aunts haven’t come to visit us from Ireland yet, i think they’re coming next week but i may be able to hide more then as it wont be the acutal holiday, maybe i can just start sleeping in the day and only come out at night.

But back to the important part. The Chocolate. Every year my dad buys my sister and i an egg, we have a £10 limit each and every year i spend the limit. This year my sister was working when my dad was able to go to the shop so she asked me to pick one out for her, but i had instructions, she didn’t want the ones with a chocolate bar, just something simple made by tesco. So i looked about and they had some nice big eggs within our limit, i know my sister likes dark chocolate but next to the dark chocolate egg was a milk chocolate brownie egg, it took some time but i know my sister loves brownies and i knew that i’d get some of hers as we always share. So i got the brownie egg for her and started to look for mine. I can say without doubt that Lindt is the best chocolate ever but it always costs a lot for not very much and there were only three choices, a dark chocolate one, which i don’t like, a small milk one with a tray of chocolates, most of which probably had nuts in which i don’t like and the egg hunt pack. I, of course, went for the pack, it had soild mini eggs, Lindor eggs, mini chocolate bunnies and 4 small eggs (about the same size as the other milk egg).

It is amazing! They all taste so good, not only that but because it’s not one big egg which i have to unwrap at once it’s lasting longer as i’m not forced to have it all avalible in one go. Of course, as i mentioned, we share our eggs here and when i opened the box i found there were 4 pop out and fold baskets, i made them all up and put some of the eggs and a bunny in each for each of my family. I still kept the most of it for myself but at least i won’t get the bad looks from my family for keeping it all for me.

I am, as you may have guess, rather odd, and also felt like finding out what the print on the foil looked like when it was flattend, apparently it’s like this:

Well i hope all have a good holiday.
