I received a nice, happy bunch of balloons for my birthday.
They really cheered me up, especially since I was sick, and it was even nicer that they were weighted down by a can of much-needed vegetable soup!

Strangely, they haven't deflated fully yet.
I received them on the 7th of May, and look here, they're still going strong after 22 days:
