ViolaMaths' Parcels Ready to Open

Violamaths showed these parcels yesterday after she had wrapped them. Now they are about to be unwrapped.

They were her presents for my birthday this year. Each is numbered: they are opened in a predetermined in order that they make the maximum impact. ViolaMaths explains the principles here!!!!! They are laid out on my desk in the correct snese, with #1 in gold at the front, and #15 in purple at the back.

And very good parcels and presents they were, too. Some make a noise; some smell; some are useful; and some are just to laugh at. I enjoyed my second day of birthday celebrations, and the carefully chosen presents, and our meal, very much. I've had a good two days for someone so old, pretending to be a 7- or 8-year old.

I wonder how many more birthdays there will be...
