It's been a bit quiet around here on the blog because I've had a fun week celebrating my birthday...yay!
The boys thoroughly spoiled me and I've been in heaven with a new Bose music system which replaces an old CD/radio/tape deck I bought when I was in my early 20s...and is still going strong. Loyalty is one of my strongest points...clearly.

The new system can play CDs and has digital radio. It also came with a Bluetooth device which can pick up the tunes from our iPhones and other devices. We're so far behind the times around here...but we're getting there.
I've put the new system in the kitchen as it is quite compact - we can listen to the radio while entertaining and cooking. It's so good. There has definitely been a lack of music in the Sow's Year and 2014 is the year to change that sad fact.
I was also the happy recipient of a toy monkey. He's been swinging all over the house.You have to agree: he's pretty damn cute.
A bottle of Mumm champagne from the kids (actually it was Son #3 who insisted that I get alcohol...and my own wine glass - he's an intuitive soul) was another lovely gift and will be enjoyed on the weekend with some friends.
Here's to another year of getting older and fun birthdays!
Happy belated birthday, Anita. (And thanks for the absolutely beautiful Christmas card, as well.) Your fellows really took good care of you this birthday. Love your monkey and am green with envy over your Boze system. I'm glad you had such a nice celebration. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Dana. Yes, the boys were very good to me. Very grateful. Xx
DeleteHappy birthday! What lovely kids you have! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Ness. Yes, the kids are very nice and is their father! xx
DeleteHappy Birthday gorgeous!! More music in the house is a brilliant 'resolution'. Your Bose system looks very up there! And of course the special monkey is juts delightful. Again happy birthday!!!xo
ReplyDeleteThanks MMMC. I'm in heaven - it's been great torturing the kids with my music collection with a great set of speakers. Only Son #3 seems to appreciate it...
DeleteHappy birthday!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your birthday wishes. xx
DeleteHappy Birthday. We still have an archaic CD player too!
ReplyDeleteHa! You don't realise when you upgrade how bad the music situation was...mind you, our starting point wasn't very good... the portable cd/tape deck should never have been our main system for so long!! xx
DeleteWhat thoughtful presents! Happy birthday! X kl
ReplyDeleteYes, I am very very lucky. Thanks! xx

DeleteHappy Birthday Anita - (again) all my comments seem to be disappearing lately! Lovely gifts - I especially like the thought of having some good tunes playing in the kitchen - planning on doing the same. xx
ReplyDeleteYou will love having tunes in your nice new kitchen, that's for sure. Thanks for your lovely wishes. xx
DeleteHappy Birthday cute stuff ;-)
ReplyDeleteCute and old stuff! xx
DeleteHappy birthday Anita - what a great present - we are further behind the times than you so a better sound system might need to be on the cards for the next house :-) Cheers, Col
