Now I am 40
My 40th birthday was yesterday.
I'd booked upstairs at the Stamford Arms, which was a good choice except that the kitchen, anfd the upstairs bar, were shut due to staff sickness.
A good turn-out of my friends - some from college, some from BookCrossing, some from quiz teams and work past and present. Three of the Loan Wolves turned up, and my BIL came from Bedfordshire, bringing my nephews. It was good to see so many different people chatting with each other and getting on. I picked up all sorts of smashing presents and cards.
Then a few of us went on for a curry, which was good. Rupert ordered champagne before the meal. So I added champagne and Cobra beer to all the Guinness I'd had earlier.
I slept in late this morning.
