I ordered this gorgeous girl at around the same time as my mocks finished, and I got my results back - a sort of 'well done, you didn't mess it up' present to myself! She's really lovely; I was going to name her Pepper (because of her colour), but she really needed something more elegant, so I've decided on Donna Elvira, after a character in my favourite opera, 'Don Giovanni' (which I did my first duet from with a very good friend of mine - baritone - not very long ago). In the opera, Elvira is a previous conquest of the Don's, and she's become rather more attached to him than he'd like, and she spends the rest of the opera trying to find him (she's rather smitten), and is perpetually disgusted at his seductive ways and immorality! She's generally thought of as the most graceful and elegant character in the opera.
She travelled with this little pup - he hasn't got a name yet, but I've been calling him 'Little Ginger' since he arrived and it'll probably stick.
