Birthday!!!

I turned 33 yesterday. These are the nifty goodies from my gorgeous husband:

A gorgeous bag - silk ribbon handles and flocking flowers on the outside. I was excited just about the bag - but there were cool goodies inside too.

The most beautiful card, EMERGENCY CHOCOLATE!, and a CD.

The Emergency chocolate comes with instructions:
'For immediate relief of chocolate cravings, lovesickness, exam pressure, mild anxiety and extreme hunger. Directions for use: Tear open wrapper, break off desired dosage, and consume. Alternatively massage into the affected area. Repeat dosage as required until finished. If symptoms persist consult your local confectioner.'

And it is dark chocolate - 70% cocoa.  Yuuummeeee.

The CD is by a band 'The Frames' who have the singer Glen Hansard as the lead man who you will know of if you have watched the movie 'Once'. Great movie - if you have not seen it, it's well recommended. Oh and the CD too. Also well recommended. Falling Slowly is a pretty pretty song – you can follow the lyrics in the crazy scrawl in the CD insert.

the BIGGEST book - at least in my personal collection. It's about an A2 size. And filled with the most fantastic info and images.		This is a page in the Africa section - some buildings from Jozi. While Africa only gets a small percentage of the pages I am very happy that our stuff is there. And it's good stuff too!
