Today I turn 23, and I’m sick!

We had builders pulling down a wall at work yesterday and the dust gave me a sore throat and a headache. I’m feeling a little better now though. Just in time to go to Strawberry Fare for dinner! Deserts galore :D




Before I show you what the boy got me I have to give you the background story.




We were walking home a week or so ago and passed a gallery on Featherston Street. There was a painting of licorice allsorts in the window which I cooed at and just then the boy seemed to have an aha! moment and claimed he new what he was getting me. I made sure it wasn’t going to be the $650 painting and he assured me it wasn’t.

So I spent the next week trying to guess what it was. I knew it was reasonably large so he was keeping it at work…

And here we have it, in all it’s 1m x .5m glory (approximately :])











He trawled flickr for a photo that was sharp enough and big enough, got it printed on canvas and mounted it himself. He even lied about how someone at work needed a staple gun so he had an excuse to take it in, and then said he wanted to walk to work just so he could go to the hardware store on the way to get staples.

Isn’t he sweet!

He also gave me a “voucher for 24 million dollars”. A lotto ticket for New Zealands biggest ever lotto draw.
