i don’t know whether my birthday still is the first of august. esther’s technically moved a day later when we moved to NZ as she was born in the afternoon uk time. i forgot to ask my parents what time of day i was born. anyway, today is my official birthday. and means i am now officially 40 years old.
my colleagues had decorated my desk up nicely. and someone bought a load of cookies (my favourite sort) to eat at a presentation i was giving first thing. it turned out another colleague had also bought us all cookies so we ate those in the afternoon. i also ate some of the chocolate display i found on my desk
And Jane had cooked me up a load of cookies to give to people, so i’ve saved those for tomorrow
we also went out for lunch with work colleagues which was really nice
then this evening i picked up kezia from violin as jane and esther went to hand her application forms for a secondary school. we’re out of zone so it’ll be a lottery whether she gets in. but if she doesn’t it doesn’t matter as her current school is plenty good enough
jane did her mainly music, had lunch with her friend alex, mucked out the guinea pigs, went for a run and did shopping and got some things ready for birthday celebrating
this evening was birthday present unwrapping (thanks to everyone for the pressies), and home made burger and chips eating.
i’ve giving blood in the morning as part of an old person’s routine check up and have had to stop eating from 8pm-ish this evening. but my stomach is so full of cookies, chocolate bars and 2 lots of burgers and chips that i will still feel completely full up tomorrow morning!
someone commented that i’ve eaten so much sugar that my blood will come out more like treacle. that is a risk.
here’s me unwrapping things
i’m overdue a haircut
and this is a kids cake. but i loved it.
