Hi to anyone who reads this.. I'm in the midst of exams and studying hard (perhaps making up for lack of work in the semester), but despite this I've managed to have a 21st birthday at Republic last week, and a family birthday party at my cousins house last night. Both were great fun - with a good mix of family and friends making appearances at each.
I will put up some photos at a later date, but of note is the fact that I asked people to give me gifts from the Tear Very Useful Gift Catalogue... so now I have 3 goats, 2 organic vegetable gardens, 5 fresh water supplies, a family health nurse and some school supplies to my name. Lucky for me - they are all in other countries so I don't have to look after them - and they'll be great for other people.
On the more materialistic front, for my other part of birthday (so far - doing well considering my actual birthday is tomorrow!) I have an awesome new camera to play with, along with a gadgety tripod, a handmade knife made by my knifemaker cousin with a wooden board made by my uncle, a painting my grandmother painted on our trip in Spain, a cutlery set, some placemats, a teapot, photo frame, Bible dictionary, earring holder, some necklaces and earrings... all lovely and thoughtful!
Work time for me now... photos will come.
