Yay, it’s my Birthday!

Yay, Shaneaster is here! Lindt bunnies have been consumed, hot cross buns devoured, and a few of us (OK mostly me) made room for cake. I love that all my workmates played along and brought yummy Shaneaster foods and lovely Shaneaster gifts to work for me today. K made her excellent vegan lasagne (it is the only form in which I eat tofu) and and D made an awesome rice salad. J brought me my favourite coloured popcorn.

And, look at these super cute things:

I love birthday cards, especially ones with glittery bits inside.

Here is a lovely key ring and candle:

J is new to my team at work, but she got right into the swing of Shaneaster -

Despite having already gifted me some Georg awesomeness earlier in the month, LH (in Perth for training) e-gifted me a new pet for World of Warcraft.

I hear that there is also a Kosta Boda candle thingy on its way, but I have to wait until LH returns from Perth on Friday. (This gives me time to work out where, during this move, I managed to lose the gas lighter thingy). And L, the Karratha Postie seems to be working on Pilbara Time, and has not yet delivered me the parcel you sent last week. Luckily, Shaneaster also runs on Pilbara Time (or if you prefer, we observe a Retail Shaneaster), and goes for several months longer than it really should, so there is still plenty of birthday left.

I remember when I moved here, saying I would not turn 30 in Karratha. With only one year to go, I wonder whether I will make good on this promise?
