It's my birthday today and look what my lovely son made me. It's a vast improvement on those pasta necklaces. I never could find a dress that went with macaroni!

Happy Birthday! What a great gift! XX
ReplyDeleteThanks Megan and Kirsty. Yes, so pleased to have a technologically-able son. Now if the next one would just take up medicine, we'd be set!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! Well done Gabriel (what an angel) and happy birthday dear Sally! jxx PS pasta necklaces weren't as bad as those candy ones, you know, those highly scented lolly beads? As little kids we used to suck them while they were actually dangling around our necks! truly disgusting... ;)
ReplyDeleteHe is an angel, my Gabriel. My Max is the Wild Thing.
ReplyDeleteYeah, funny how food you can wear is always more alluring, like cherry earrings or Burger Ring rings.
Happy belated birthday. And, well, I guess the internet isn't all bad after all - and nor are sons! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebecca. Yeah, I have three sons. I was planning to have three girls - but you don't always get a say in these things. Turns out, I couldn't be luckier!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your birthday. Have a wonderful year!
ReplyDeleteThanks Robyn - it's feeling good so far!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful birthday. Your book trailer is very well done. I really liked your voice over of the story and the intriguing music. A lovely gift from your son! I can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Renee. I had a lovely birthday - and yes, that trailer is a gift that just keeps on giving!
