Guess what I got for my birthday???
Let's see if anyone can guess. I will give you all the clue that was given to me by Le (my fiance):
"Orthodontics"

I will give you all till the end of the working day and then I shall reveal it... just thought it'd be something interesting (well, I hope it is!) to think about as we go about our mundane tasks at work...

Ving, I'm not the one that needs gaffer tape methinks lol
In a way, it is astronomy related. Your guesses are really making my day at work go by a bit quicker.
Rapideye - Le laughed his head off when I told him what you guessed! He said that might have been just as good a present

Ok, ok. I think I've teased you all long enough

Le got me....wait for it....I'm really excited about this...
....

...

..

.

A brand spanking new Nikon D50 digital SLR camera!!! Woo-hoo!!! I hit the jackpot!!! I actually screamed when I opened up the package
It is what I've been wanting since I saw the review on dpreview
The little sneak told me I couldn't get one until the end of the year and all this time he was searching ebay for it.

We're still waiting for the lens to arrive (he bought the body only and bought a good lens seperately instead of going for the kit lens as the review said the new kit lens wasn't that great). I'm also waiting for a nikon t-ring to arrive and then I'll be all set to get some deep sky images! Can't wait!!! No more waiting for rotten film developers (who keeps telling me that all my photos are exposed wrong anyway and keep coming out too black... )

Oh, I didn't get the clue either but "orthodontics" and "cheese" would have made much more sense...
