Because I'm just processing some photos out of my camera now, now that all family have finally moved back to their respective territories, I'll tell you what I got for my birthday. The iPad (and keyboard dock), of course, but also:
- the new version of
Larousse Gastronomique:
- my late father's weather station he got for his 50th birthday:
- this picture, for the wall as you enter our front door:
(Note, the pattern stands out in direct light, but fades away so that the head stands out in indirect light, and changes again when the halogen above, directed at it, shines on it...the picture sort of shimmers, like a hologram)
- this 6000-piece puzzle:
(it doesn't fit on our large dining table, so I've bought some large 1000gsm cardboard pieces and fixed them together on the table)
- and this "cake" as my birthday cake (this has always been my fantasy birthday cake,
croquembouche):
A nice sweep, I reckon.
Cheers,
Marc
