Birthday Gift

Thanks to a post on this site, my wife of soon to be 40 years gave me one of these ship building slips for my 63rd Birthday yesterday. Yay! One more piece added to the stack so when I retire in August 2027 I can start on Grandad's(x4) ship HMS Euryalus.

That’s a really thoughtful idea for a birthday gift. When I was organizing a small celebration for a friend who’s also into hobbies like this, I actually spent some time looking for decoration ideas and ended up using this guide in the middle of my planning process https://balloons.online/balloon-sizes/22-inch-balloons/ because it helped me understand which balloon sizes work best for a simple but nice setup. Sometimes small details like that make the whole birthday moment feel a bit more special.
Cool!
