Well, so far being 32 isn't too bad. I've had a few nice presents, a few nice meals and baked some flapjack. Yesterday was my birthday and we went for a nice lunch and off to John Lewis to spend my birthday vouchers (thanks Annie!!!). I thought as a special treat I would get some of the rowan cotton DK that I've had my eye on for a while now. This year my 'new thing' was going to be learn to crochet - the aim was to learn to make granny squares. I'm hoping this gorgeous pile of wool will encourage me to at least make a start!

I also got a lovely big bunch of flowers from J. He took the hint very well that he should go and see what the new flower shop at our local shops (for local people) had to offer! I do love receiving flowers, a little piece of the garden on the dining table. Especially good when this week is looking like its going to rain most of the time so there won't be a lot of gardening going on!

Secret Monkey Swap Update: Monkeys should be finished and posted now. There is a flickr group all ready for photos of lots of fun and possibly cheeky monkeys!
