I bought Adam a present the other week.
Just for those of you who don’t have a relationship such as ours – which I do like to think as somewhat ‘normal’ – what, of course, I mean by my opening sentence is ‘I bought Adam a present the other day that was really for me but shhhh let’s hope he doesn’t figure it out; he will like it, I will get to use it, and my what a cunning soul I am‘.
This time would be dicey, however, because this Bookseat was bright purple (I had no option in that regard, it was from Savers, after all) and therefore conspicious.
The look on Adam’s face when I handed it over to him told me that he would not be fooled, no way, no how.
“What’s this?”
“A present!”
“What do I want that for? I have arms! I have arms that can hold up a book! And HANDS too!”
And so on.
Now, I admit, it does look a little like a dementedly-shaped elven cap…
But it isn’t bad.

So what do you think? Have you got one or seen one? Are they marvellous or do they do for reading what Snuggies do for blankets?
