Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes! I have been enveloped in good wishes,kind thoughts and treats by family and friends ( including a trip to a tasty tapas bar with friends who made sure everyone in the place knew I was 40 with balloons and enthusiatic 'Happy Birthday' singing!) so I thought I'd spread the love a little.
Please leave me a comment on this post, just say hello if you don't usually like to comment, and I'll draw a winner next Wednesday for some handmade goodness from me.
Thank you to everyone who gave me camera advice too, hopefully you will see an improvement in the photos around here as my new one arrived this morning
It is a Finepix S5800 ( happily the link button has mended itself with the newest typepad changes, though the spell check doesn't work any more so please forgive any mis-spelt words!) which is just what I wanted - more functionality than my old camera but small and lightweight too, and a brilliant price, perfect! Thanks to Sara eden for her feedback on it. Then I discovered my brother has the same camera too, we all have such good taste!
It arrived while I was in the shower, so I scared the Parcelforce man both with my enthusiastic grabbing of the box and my state of undress. No....., I had my dressing gown on, otherwise he'd probably still be collapsed on the path in a state of distress...I am 40 now you know!
