Favourite Cards
Live your dreams!
(except for the one where you’re being eaten by the giant spider)
Claire and Philip Fayers gave me this card, which I particularly enjoy. The cartoon picture of the spider baring its teeth is particularly cute and amusing – I’ll have to upload a picture of it.
(A picture of a fort with the caption) Ok, this isn’t the best Birthday card you’ve ever seen…
But it’s the fort that counts!
Yes, I’ve got a weakness for bad puns, and my sister Becky knows my silly sense of humour well.
Favourite Presents
Digital camera
Contributed to by Grandma and Opa. 6 megapixels, I’ve bought a 256mb memory card for it, so it can take a lot of pictures.
Sonic screwdriver
How exciting! My very own sonic screwdriver. Unfortunately it doesn’t actually unlock doors and reverse teleports like Doctor Who’s one, but it buzzes, lights up, writes in both normal pen and UV ink, and makes the UV writing glow under its light – hours of fun, thanks to my sister Becky!
How to survive a robot uprising
This invaluable volume was a present from the wonderful Dave Williamson.
Best Surprise
The TARDIS in our back garden!
My housemates constructed a cardboard TARDIS in our back yard, much to my amusement and delight. It’s just a pity that it doesn’t actually work to take me through time and space…
Most unfortunate partygoer
Juliet Heath
Poor Juliet fainted and ended up leaving in the back of an ambulance. Not because of large quantities of booze, I hasten to add! Helen Rodda went with her to look after her, so thanks Helen.
