Tim Minchin Birthday Block

As you may know I love Tim Minchin :0
As a member of his official fan club website/forum, I joined in the making of his birthday gift. The idea was to make a personalized Jenga game for him, as well as a card of course.
We were sent a wooden block to decorate how we pleased, then they were collected up from around the world This is my block..

it was supposed to be given to him on his birthday, but due to a surprise party thrown by the Jesus Christ Superstar cast (in which he's playing Judas), it had to be delayed until last night.

At last he got it, Thanks to Shell from the forum (whose photos these are)

argghh he has his hands on my block !!!!!!!!

Long time, no see !

I can't believe I haven't posted since April ! Too much over time, dead computer and lack of umph is to blame.
So many things bought since then, I'll start with yesterdays goodies.
 I have a serious addition to buying books, they are all over the house, piled up gathering dust, but I could never find a decent bookshelf that I liked, but found this lovely pine one for £8 at Mencap, fortunately I have a trailer so didn't need to pay delivery,

there was also one of those papasan wicker chairs for £10, it was the pattern I was drawn to, groovy or what ? The kids and cats are fighting over it.

thats it for now, I've been awake since 3am, and have so much to do today ! I'll probably have collapsed by dinner time ;)
