Another year older

The Scientist passed another birthday today, and it has gone well, I think. Lego Lover and I hatched a plan to get him a Lego Mindstorm set many months ago. I’ve been putting aside money all year and the Scientist’s parents contributed significantly towards the total. I paid for it in cash so there’s no financial pressure to pay it off now. The Scientist and Lego Lover should have some great times ahead of them as they work out how to use it.

The Scientist also got a copy of Ironman from Game Fanatic. This was something of a surprise, too, because Game Fanatic has made a habit of giving only games as gifts the last year or two. The Scientist is quite pleased because he’s been wanting this film on dvd since it came out.

I baked a ginger cake at the Scientist’s request and it came out really nicely. I’ve been having too many mishaps when baking lately so it was nice to have success on this one. Lego Lover thought it tasted great, too, which made it doubly pleasing for me.

The day itself seemed to go quite well and I think the Scientist thoroughly enjoyed himself. Hopefully he’s now having a good night’s rest.
