Swirly TARDIS mug

[vilakins]

Thanks to everyone who's wished me a happy birthday. It's been pretty good: some sun, brunch at the local authentic run-by-Mexican-family Mexican cafe, discovering a seriously good French brie (Brie de Meaux AOC) at the gourmet supermarket down the road, yummy dinner tonight (sole, salad, melty chocolate pots and butterscotch ice cream)--and a planned dinner tomorrow at Molten.

A wonderful and unexpected surprise was a parcel from England which arrived this week, a Doctor Who mug from kalypso_v, bought at Eastercon and inspired perhaps by my TARDIS icon on this post. :-D Thanks so much!

Behold: the mug filled with my Saturday morning cappuccino, made before we went to brunch.

I wanted to make a swirly galaxy of milk to match the outside but it was just too foamy.

Happy Birthday! Delighted to hear that the mug arrived intact - I was a bit worried about whether the packaging would cope - and very pleased to see it in action!

PS I think they had one more like your icon, but I went for the Pandorica Opens version...

And very gorgeous and van Gogh it is!

It's Sunday morning now, and latkes and coffee (made by Greg as a special treat) time. :-)

Happy Birthday!

Wow. Molten looks good. Hope you have a lovely evening ther.

Neat mug!

Thank you!

I've been to Molten once before and the food was amazing.

Very cute mug!

That sounds like a fabulous birthday - many happy returns! The mug is gorgeous :)

It was great! Great weather, great food, lazing about...

And a delicious meal at Molten tonight! I've been there before and the food was amazing. If you've ever seen the Food Truck programme, he's one of the chefs. :-)

Glad you ARE having a happy birthday!

It's the day after now, but we just got back from a wonderful dinner that was certainly part of it. :-)

Probably belated now, but: happy birthday!

Thank you! And hey, I just got back from a belated birthday dinner and that was just as excellent a day later. :-)

Another belated birthday greeting! but it sounds like you managed a good one anyway :) Love the mug.

I had a great day and dinner tonight was excellent too.

Isn't it great!

Since I haven't done it yet: Happy birthday! I'm glad it went well! And that mug is awesome. :)

Thanks! And isn't it! :-D

Happy birthday! Sounds like you had a fun, relaxing day. :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I did! and the sun was out too which is more than I can say for today. I just had a really excellent dinner at Molten though. :-)

And another belated Happy Birthday, I'm glad that you've had such a good day.

Isn't a mug that's far bigger on the inside than on the outside rather inconvenient? :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

All the more coffee!

It's still galaxy-like and pretty. Glad your birthday was fun. Here's the card I sent you, probably too early for you to see. I get confused about the time and day difference.

Hope your day is grand!!!

Thanks again! Sebastian is rubbing up against my legs to say hello; that cat looks just like his friend.
