Another year older...

It was actually last week but didn't celebrate until the weekend.



I found it quite difficult to keep the joy and excitement under control.

This old age thing has very little going for it, in my view.

Still, I got some cool pressies - most of them bottle-shaped, which was good. They included this one...



Not sure if the picture captures it that well - it's a bottle of Absolut vodka in a red sequined gimp mask that has been specifically designed to house bottles of Absolut vodka.

You could argue that a society that has the time and resources to produce red sequined gimp masks specifically designed for bottles of Absolut vodka is a little decadent.

It should go without saying that I couldn't possibly agree with this.
