Yes I do. I really love the internet. It was my birthday yesterday (33! my God, is it possible that I could be so old and still so immature! (when) will I ever grow up??) and it seems that none of my friends in Australia actually remembered BUT MY INVISIBLE ONLINE FRIENDS DID! Hurrah for invisible friends, hurrah for flickr. So lovely.

So it was quite a low-key birthday - really just a marker of getting older rather than a big celebration, but the boy and I went out for dinner, which made it a small sort of event anyway.

So this morning I had my own mini-celebration by baking some scones. It's been ages since I've made anything like this - and it was also a good excuse to try out my new rolling pin. I've never had a rolling pin without handles before, and I have to say I liked the control it gave me - seemed a bit easier to control than the other, and of course a bit less friction on the hands cos they're not always rubbing against the same bit - the pin rolls along under the length of your hand and you can move them around too. I think £2 well spent :-)

The other thing which really brought home to me how much I love the internet was a story one of my invisible friends told me about how she broke her camera - and her invisible friends clubbed together to buy her a new camera - and gathered so much money that they were able to get her a Nikon D50 AND a tripod and assorted accessories too!

So, like I say, I love the internet and give it a great big hug for being a wonderful place to be :-)
