Another Day Another Birth...day
Here I am another year older - it happens every year with a sort of relentlessness regularity.
52 this time - and at 52 a girl needs plenty to read
I've been wanting to read this one since I read the reviews
I heard parts of this serialised on the radio and laughed a lot, so I think this will be lots of fun and then (on the Waterstone's two for three offer)
don't know this one - anyone read it?
Martha sent her aged Mother a book to inspire me to more creative and secretive acts of random art. I have been after this book for ages
The most startling present of all was this digital photo frame from Geoff (seen here modelled by Poppy)
I was a little taken aback as Geoff is not famous for his interest in technology! I have loaded a few photos onto it and will read the instructions (novel for me) to discover what else it will do. Then I have A Plan for where it will go!
So I am off to cook birthday food for Annie and Geoff and Geoff and Owen and me tonight but here are a couple more gifts I got to ponder 
I'll be careful how I use these
This map is going to be very useful when we GO AND VISIT JOHN IN FEBRUARY!!!
Happy my birthday to everyone, and thank you all for being so friendly even when I am a grumpy old so and so.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday! The sewing threat kit sounds really scary: who will you threaten first?
