It does not seem that long ago since my last birthday and here it has rolled around again. Its true what they say about the older you get the less fuss you want made over your birthday. As I have been off work for the past week and off all of next week they gave me a card and present before the Bank Holiday, I really hate these kinds of things, I suppose it reminds me of opening presents at Christmas with my fathers side of the family all watching to see the look of joy on my face as I opened my presents! Anyway I really hate all that and would have rather things be lower key, at work it was because I happen to share my birthday with a work colleague who was celebrating the big 40 so a lot of attention was deflected off me. Anyhow they got me some cinema vouchers and a bottle of Chianti and a lovely hand made card (that I did not have to make!)
