Birthday Treats

It was my birthday at the weekend. People have been embarrassingly generous. Amongst other things I was given:

• Very many cards, all with badges (one from somebody who’s signature clearly references this blog)
• Bottle opener
• Very high quality razor
• Antique heirloom pocket-watch (running)
• Book
• Singing lessons
• Bewilderingly elaborate corkscrew
• Many T shirts
• Handmade science fiction blanket
• Leather washbag
• Theatre ticket
• Magazine
• £30,000
• Curly Wurly
• Laundry folder (like Sheldon uses)
• Exact model of my favorite guitar (in the medium of cake)
• Vintage wine and port
• A kebab
• Dedicated signed album
• Two novels (both of which I have been looking forward to reading)
• Forty year old sheet music
• Cufflinks
• Specially made video messages (one of which features two of my close female friends kissing while dressed and made-up as porn stars)
• Microplane Grater
• Tea
• Ginger
• Malteezers (thoughtful and touching)

Thank you one and all.
