A special Christmas gift from my daughter was a bottle of wine – Jindalee Shiraz, product of Australia, 2004. Undoubtedly this bottle became part of my collection of turtles. The tiny turtle next to the bottle is from the Christmas bazaar at the National Palace of Culture in Sofia, another gift from Irina. A violet pencil sharpener is what I have had handy at all times since Christmas – Irina’s good idea.
