Very special incoming...

It’s my birthday today and my wife has given me the most amazing gift. I’ve wanted one for years but never been able to justify it to myself. I had absolutely no idea my wife has even clocked (i know, i know!) that i wanted one. Genuinely nearly got tearful!

Very nice and a lovely gift. I have been looking at those for a couple of years - but can't quite justify the expense. Was it easy to set up?

Wow—what a stunning gift. Happy birthday. She made it difficult since I believe that you need to clock what she wants for Christmas :-).

The instructions were quite daunting and getting it absolutely level took some time, but actually not so hard. Albeit I’ve not set up the Moonphase yet as have to do that on a full moon.

We have the same birthday, happy belated birthday. I'd love one of these at some point. I got a new Nespresso machine and le creuset coffee cups which are as heavy as dumbbells. I'll have to share your story with my wife for next year ;)
