Thanks again, everyone. No, no photos, no cake, nothing special. It was just an ordinary work day.

I am still expecting a birthday parcel from my family in Australia but it hasn't arrived yet... :shock:

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Aw, thanks, everyone! :D Nothing exciting planned for today (working later), but it just looks like a lovely sunny day. I had a Skype call with my parents earlier and they've promised me there's a parcel of goodies in the mail... :wink: (I'm pretty sure it will include my favourite Aussie choccy bikkies — Arnott's Mint Slice — which aren't easily available over here. 8) )
