I have had the most FANTASTIC birthday weekend - it’s more than eased the f-word pain

I had a wonderful party last night, full of good friends, and vodka, and nice people, and vodka, and a yummy buffet, and vodka…and a DJ who quite happily played some stuff that I’d taken in amongst the party classics. Did I mention the vodka?

So that was great (even the weather held this year, first dry birthday for 5 years!!), and I didn’t have a hangover this morning. I just ached!! Lunch was with the usual gang, less John and Marie (you were missed!) and as the Birthday Girl got free grub (superb offer Mr Pub, thank you), I indulged to the max, including a scrumptious share chocolate/raspberry ice cream creation with Chris. Nom nom nom nom!!! I have spent the afternoon on the sofa recovering!

And here’s the best bit - aside from Chris and Mum, I’d imposed a presents imbargo this year, asking instead for donations towards that wonderful cats’ hospice I visited with Mum just after we lost Bones. I’ve just counted up - we raised 205 squids which is just absolutely bloody brilliant, thank you to all those involved. And I get to go visit the cats again - yay!!

Maybe 40 isn’t so bad…it’s certainly started out pretty well!
