Unrelated pleasure givers..... stuffed squid and Christmas cactus

Two unrelated things - this is the Christmas cactus that was struggling along since I bought it at the church fair last Christmas, forgotten about in the toilet ledge, occasionally watered, and then, beginning December, these pink things started appearing and this is the current pic of the plant - such a pretty flower, from me, who is not a gardener/plant lover.  Its very little, around a handspan, but has been currently promoted to upstairs toilet shelf, with my mum's cross stitch thingie underneath. Currently seen in Ikea and Morrisons, but this appearing from the wasted looking cactus is soo pretty.
Second surprise/pleasure giver/whatever was the arrival of a friend of these gorgeous stuffed squids late last night, they are divine......never had anything like them, think they are prawns and tentacles chopped up inside with something like mole masala. Everything's melt in the mouth and something H (who's tasted everything Goan possible, or so he thought) has never had in its entirety.
Gorgeous, and didnt know the lady could cook like this. Feni added to sorpotel she says, makes the difference. Told her the cookbook should be out in 6 months.
Little things in the middle of this mad week of sorting the eldest's parties.
