I didn't get a chance to come online and make a post on my actual birthday cos I was doing birthday things, so I'm going to post about it now...
First things first, presents!
Love the doggy wrapping paper!
Birthday Goodies!
Almost all of these were from Mum. The card on the left was from Emma. She knows me so well!
Most of the day was spent playing various games including Lego Harry Potter, the Downton Abbey board game (which was a bit disappointing. I wonder if we can tweak the rules a bit to make it more interesting), Marrying Mr Darcy, and a Create Your Own Jane Austen Adventure book.
While we were playing the post arrived, bringing with it a card from Denise and a parcel from Sonja:
She always wraps so nicely
The highlighters are so cute!
There was also cake, of course...
Cake!
It's madeira with cookie dough inside. Very nice!
And, being me, there had to be fizz:
Cheers!
Very nice champagne too. And, in case you're wondering, the 'Cake for Breakfast' card was from Denise.
Also, you will be pleased to hear that I did not ruin the chateaubriand:
Steak!
So it was a very nice day. And the only thing left to do is post my Epic Poem of Birthday Brilliance:
Some might say my life is done
Now that I am forty-one
I say now I'm forty-one
It's time for me to have some fun!
