All birthday presents are good - the bizarre ones, the thoughtful ones, the eccentric and the surprisingly generous. I did quite well on all the above this year, thanks to my lovely bunch of friends and family.
Then there are the late ones, which have a special charm all of their very own, particularly when they are in the form of long triangular chocolate bars presented to you on a Friday afternoon.*
Much joyful sugar consumption followed.
Little pleasures, unexpected, always make for a happy me.
*that's mid-week for me.
a British friend of mine claims that his family used to be so poor, that for xmas he once received a paintbrush and an orange.
