This was quite early on in the day, before about another 15 people arrived.
I need a bigger garden 😀

Thanks to @andrevr, @al_ice and @kambabe for letting me hijack their pics:

It’s my birthday soon …

* * * 4 APRIL * * *

39 <– for those of you who keep forgetting how old I am *cough* Son#1 *cough*

I know you’ve all been saving like mad for this, dying for the opportunity to spoil me with awesome presents, but I’m guessing that you have no clue what to buy me. Right? Right.

Here’s a tip: anyone who gets me anything remotely “practical” will be fired / unfollowed / defriended / disinherited on the spot. No bulk packs of 48 toilet rolls please. Yes, I have been given this as a gift before, I shit you not.

Here’s what I won’t say no to:

  1. Final Fantasy 13 for Xbox 360
  2. Ralf Lauren Polo Sport for Women
  3. Flowers
  4. Dragonlance Chronicles Gift Set
  5. Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness (Mac)
  6. Flowers
  7. Vanilla Cream Body Hamper
  8. Lapillus Worry Skull
  9. Flowers
  10. Monin Watermelon Liqueur
  11. Bram Stoker’s Dracula: Collector’s Edition
  12. Flowers

Mmk … that’s enough to start with 😀
