Happy birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me
Well my pressie to self, a new to me second hand lens off e-bay, has yet to arrive, but so far I've got a CD from a friend in the States, and earrings from my husband and a CD and the promise to cook dinner from my son, plus the odd cheque from my in-laws, which will go towards the lens.
Here's a bit of Snoopy dancing to celebrate!

Yay! Snoopy dancing!
I see you admire Julia DArling. I met her several yrs ago when she came here for our Lit Festival; had lunch with Julia plus Fay WEldon and others ( a real treat for Little Moi! ) Julia was a lovely person, bright sensitive funny quirky and I liked her petry and her writing very much. I was so sorry to hear of her death but she and her work will be warmly remembered for a long time.
happy birthday!!! thanks for letting me share in your celebration!
Thanks all. I've had a good day.
Jan that sounds like an amazing day! I got to know Julia a very tiny bit by e-maiol just prior to her death. She was very ill by then and laterly confined to bed. I sent her some photographs of snow and things which she really liked.
I think she was an amazing writer. Jacky Kay was a friend of hers and she's working on Julia's blog at present to put something together for BBC Radio 4. I heard Jackie read the poem Darling this year, it's about sitting at Julia's bedside and it's very affecting. She also wrote a lovely poem about them both being like lighthouse. Check out her blog which was done for National Poetry Day this year.
Thanks for this. Very interesting.
I'll check it out.
Happy Belated Birthday!!
Dang it all, I missed it. It sounds like a nice day though, your son cooking a meal for you and everything - that's sweet.
What magic are you goung to do with your new lens, eh?
Oh I tried it out in the garden today, it will be handy just to to pull views in a bit closer, the marcro function isn't that great, need to dave my pennies and get a dedicated lens for that, but good ones really cost.
The best thing about it is the quality of the glass, which is as good as a much more expensive lens with more twidly bits that I don't really need.
