On the right a fun and wonderful surprise that I received through the mail today. It's an early birthday present from my friend P. My birthday is not until april 11, but I know how this goes: when you order online you always tend to be on the safe side ;-) It's a beautiful deluxe set of graphite pencils. This is exactly the kind of thing I would love to own, but always feel is too decadent to buy for myself. I mean, it's not like I don't own any pencils. So I am really really happy with this set (I'm doing a little happy dance right now). Thank you P!.
Finally a thank you to all the kind words I received both here and elsewhere about the loss of my cat. It means a lot to me.
