Birthday Boy
Other Half celebrates his thirty-something-mumble-mumble birthday today. Happy birthday, David.
I managed to finish a pair of fingerless mitts (a male variation upon these in Artesano Alpaca Aran) last night whilst at the knit-in at Sith Café. I wouldn't say I was knitting frantically, but I didn't pet the resident dog as much I usually do. Dave's wearing the gloves today so no photos, alas.
Last year I attempted a Dalek Cake with .. interesting results (as you can see, I fail spectacularly at cake decorating) so having knitted successful mitts = a much better birthday already. Fewer hysterical laughs anyway.
Other presents include a card wallet, Swedish vampire fiction, an awesome Death Star t-shirt (his favourite present, I think) and posh art supplies. I'm mildly jealous.
Now off to swanky dinner at our favourite restaurant.. thank you everybody who has contributed to making this a great day for the skinny indie kid.

Oooh, I’ve read that Swedish vampire book, and very good it was too.

*g* Resident dog, indeed. Glad to hear the pressies went down well….and I’m sure Merlin has forgiven you for the lack of attention. ;)

*grin* belated congratulations to the other half (of course by no means “better” ;))
