And, to round off the tour of the glassware etc., here is my not-so-extensive collection of mugs:

Yes, I know there are people on this site who have built extensions to their homes in order to house their mug collections, but 17 mugs is all I've got, and that should do me for now. Incidentally, the two ugly black ones in the front row are reserved for drunk people who I don't trust with my good stuff...

Here are a few more minor odds and ends...

The bar clutter is being built up. I have framed some memorabilia from my 2010 tiki tour of California and Nevada:

More on this trip will be found in the Tiki Travel section (soon...).

And now, behold the wonder that is my plastic puffer fish:

Yes, I can hear you laughing - stop it immediately! A real one was not an option because of the resident cat. This one has the advantage of being unbreakable. If (when) she pulls it down, the most she can do is leave a few teethmarks in it.

I have fitted a couple of tiki door handles in the kitchen:

If they turn out to be resilient enough, I am going to buy more and fit them to all of the kitchen cupboard doors and drawers.

And, to round things off, some Christmas gifts made for me by Ms. Nouméa.

Tiki placemats (2 designs - 2 of each):

And, further evidence that she is the perfect woman, behold the Club Nouméa mug:

Which raises my collection to the impressive number of 18.

More stuff is in the works - wall cladding for behind the stove, and some carved panels, all going well.
