Birthday

Yes, today is indeed my birthday.  No I'm not telling how old I am :-)

Thank you for all the wonderful birthday wishes, I had a lovely day.

Received a two-piston-compact-silent compressor from The Man.  He loves me because I allow him to buy my presents at the hardware store.  So I started the day by spray painting two wicker trays just to get a feel for the new machine.

Just when it started becoming fun and I got the hang of directing the spray away from my new birthday shirt and my fingers, Eskom bestowed a power failure on us so I went off to see the Bodyworlds exhibition that I have been trying to get to for months.  A rather ghoulish birthday excursion, but I just know that looking at all those flayed bodies will make me a better sculptor in future.  Quite honestly, it is an awesome exhibition.

Then, just for the heck of it I drove around the Kayalami racetrack at 20kph in my housewifey station wagon.  One must do something insane on your birthday.

When I got home I cut out the fabric pieces for Moxie, a stunning kit sent to me by Susie McMahon.  I've been drooling over it for weeks.  Can't wait to make the doll, I wish that mine turns out even slightly like hers, I do so admire her work.

To round off the day, we had a braai (barbecue) at my mother's house.   The beautiful roses are from my sister.
