Birthdays and Death Stars

Had a lovely birthday weekend...spent most of it gardening and am now hurting in muscle groups I didn't know existed. I managed to re-seed the lawn and get all the annuals in at my mum's...it's a good thing I don't own my own house or I'd turn into one of those obsessives who trims the grass with manicure scissors. Actually caught myself worrying about whether I should use a checkerboard or random pattern when planting the flowers...*sigh*...Went for the checkerboard, of course.

My favourite birthday greeting is above. Simultaneously funny and profoundly pathetic. Timmy FTW!

Also noticed this in the news today: The proposed Ras al Khaimah Convention and Exhibition Centre in the UAE by Rem Koolhaas and Reinier de Graaf. The sphere holds a convention centre, hotel rooms, apartments, offices and retail space.

Any resemblance to the Death Star is entirely coincidental. Entirely.
