Turning 23 - of whisks, weapons and wine

Celebrations started on Friday with cake and some presents in the office. I'd asked for a hand-held whisk, a clutch that can double up as a weapon (because you never know when you might need one!) and one of those animal balloons with feet that I've seen little children walk around with as if they are walking their pets - for me to indulge in some eccentricity and "walk" it around the office.

Unfortunately, my colleagues broke to me the sad news that the shops near the office are not selling them anymore. Apparently they are not in fashion anymore. Pity.

Spending the evening (and the early hours of my actual birthday) with family and close friends is quite a treat and something I'll hold dear to my heart.

The icing on the cake? A long-distance phone call whilst snuggled in bed.
