Just another day innit?
20 April 2007, 19:55
Ah the passing of time. I am officially now on the wrong side of “mid-30’s”.
The day passed quietly. No-one at work knew it was my birthday which was just as well as the last thing I need is cake (if McG is reading this, this is a barefaced and brazen LIE and cake is NECESSARY indulgence. Pref chocolate with strawberries and, oh, I don’t know some dark chocolate granache. Not that I’m fussy). My body has not quite forgiven me an over-intake of felafels last night.
Came home to cards from neighbours, and pressies from family, most notably some v. cool novels and ipod accessories (I swear if McG pronounces it “ee-pod” one more time he will be most likely wearing my felafels). Was serenaded by one of our neighbours with his infant son’s red ukelele and to top it off, Scout sent me this email:
Dat. Dat! Alix!
Nan nan nan nan nan. Alix! Aix!
Dad-dy! Dad-dy! Dad-dy! Dad-dy! Ice. Ice. Eyes!
Mum mum mum mum mum mum mum mum mum mum mum. Aix!
Happy birthday mummy!!
Love from Scout

I completely refused to celebrate mine this year (and was then less-than-quietly miffed that nobody saw through that ruse and made a big fuss…)
Wishing you and M and S a fabulous year. Next time you’re in sunny BrisVegas or Hervers please give me a call. (I’m working up there quite a bit these days. Lucky me?)
