Secretly I think I heard him singing,"Rain, Rain, go away! Come again some other day, We want to go outside to play, Come again some other day!"Meanwhile, perfect excuse to wear my leather boots to keep warm!

The content of this belated birthday gift is of no surprise; I managed to grill the answers from Mr. X way way before.In fact there was a little anti-climax when he tried to entice my curiosity.He gave me a few keywords in this order: 'leather' 'gold' 'sherlock holmes' 'book' 'complete collection'(When he first said 'leather' I thought it was Miu Miu!)Never mind, because I've …
