Birthday results

[wiseheart]

aka the entry meant for today.

My birthday was quiet, as expected in these days... a bit more quiet than I thought it would be, but I guess I must realize that other people (the ones who have to work) are snowed in over their heads. Ah, well.

In any case, I got eight lovely phone calls (two from Mum's friends, but they still count, right?), two e-mails and two text messages.

As for birthday gifts, I got lovely, lovely reviews for my stories from elwenlj, jenn_calaelen, adafrog and sandysan2013! Yay! Thank you, folks, you've really made my day!

I also got paid LJ time from elmey and lindahoyland, and also a very cute birthday e-card from the most generous lindahoyland. And a small bottle of black currant flavoured vodka from my friend Alex, which I'll get on Tuesday, when I go to school to fetch the eggsies.

A mysterious birthday gift from the_wild_iris is currently waiting at the post office, as they ceased to deliver anything that can't be stuffed into the letter box a couple of years ago. So yeah, I'll have to take the tram to the post office, which is always crowded like whoa, stand in the queue and wait until they find my package. So much about social distancing. *sigh*

Mum gave me the baking tin for mini bunt cakes in advance, but she was unhappy with the fact that she couldn't give me anything now and pressured me to find myself something when I was doing the shopping on the 9th. So I bought a DIY box set that is pretty, but I wouldn't have bought it otherwise, as I didn't strictly need it.

It looks like this while still unopened (well, almost, as I got the pink version):



And this is what you can make from it:



In theory anyway. I might use the individual parts differently. But it is very pretty.

So, this was my birthday in 2020. I'll update this entry when I've fetched my package. Friends-locked, because it is no-one's business, except you who are on my friendslist.

8 phone calls is more than I got! 😉

Well, as I said two were from Mum's friends and three were family, so only three of my friends found it important enough to call so far. But those three I cherish very much.

Happy Belated Birthday! Sorry I wasn't around for the party, life has been throwing stuff at me almost non-stop lately and I kept forgetting =(

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

No problem. You are here now, thanks for the good wishes. :)

Eight phone calls is pretty astonishing these days! Sounds like you had a good Bidet in spite of the strange circumstances.

As I mentioned above, only three of them were from friends, actually, but it was still very nice of them to call.

The boxes are so very pretty.

I just can't resist beautiful craft paper. (Especially when someone else pays for it.) It's a terrible addiction...

I didn't get a headsup from LJ!!!! I am so sorry I didn't get to wish you a happy birthday!!!!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. As my Grandma used to say, birthday wishes are valid within eight days afterwards, and you're well within those limits. *g*

They are, although I might make different ones in the end.
