...,for a start, is not really a birthday. It also has many delights, including being woken by the whole family bursting into bilingual birthday songs. Breakfast in bed, walks, pancakes. I even attended a birthday party, though it wasn't my own. (Son's best friend's - not to be missed.) My present was an electronic piano! How cool is that? I've been meaning to learn. I must dig out my "Piano playing for dummies." (I'm not kidding.) In between I had time (generously donated by Babes) to have a long, long, long shower (including time for deforestation) and a long NAP! Then tonight the babysitter came and we went out to the cinema to see The King's Speech (excellent film) with tapas and cocktails after.
One could mistake me for a real woman today. One with a life. Who has fun. And all this while I'm still - technically - quite sick.
Excuse me while I go to have a lie down.

Just found this quote on an Italian tourist site that might pep you up: 'The fauna of the park It is very rich and is made up of several mammals such as wild boars, fallow deers, roe deers, porcupines, jews, foxes, wild cats, weasels, martins.'
Jews?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like the most lovely birthday ever! I need to do some deforestation too...watch out or you'll be planning for child #4 very soon! ;)
ReplyDeleteI went back on the link you put and I must have missed that last year. I love that blog you guest posted for...thanks for sharing. It's going to be a favorite read for sure! I think I'll ride your coattails over there and see if I can do a piece for them too!
Congrats on a happy birthday! Dinner and a movie sounded so standard in our dating years - now it's a vacation.
ReplyDeleteHappy pretend birthday! Sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAn electric piano!
ReplyDeletePost photos.
Or a video of you playing "chopsticks" (I bet there's a book called "Chopsticks for Dummies")
Totally missed your post last year on your 'March' birthday. My sister's birthday is the day before mine - we should have thought of this! Glad you had a fab day, sleep, evening out, piano and all!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect day. Just perfect! Love you, dear. Sick, well, or whatever. I do.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had a lovely day. Much deserved!
