My 24th Birthday
My birthday weekend began with me purchasing Millie's Cookies for work. I was good and did not eat them on the way though I was sorely tempted. Rachel brought me a cake and a present so I spent the day stuffing my face. After work I headed to Camden for a ceilidh. We all met at a pub on the canal for refreshments and then walked over to the venue. All the Doomers, Dena, Giles and his sister, Arasi and Emma were there. The Doomers' new flatmate came too as she knew someone else having a birthday. She even brought me a card which I thought was really sweet seeing as we have only met once before! The ceilidh was good and exhausting as always. I had to change out of trousers and into the skirt I brought half way through!
When Giles, his sister and I got home, my parents were back from their holiday so were wide awake from jet lag. We heard about their holiday and I opened their presents to me - a series of Canadian and American T-shirts and hoodies - so I now look like I come from across the pond as it was technically my birthday.
On the day itself I drove us to Bodiam Castle which took much longer than I thought as the traffic was terrible. I drove really badly and it was very stressful. It was worth it when we got there though. The sun was shining and it was fairly warm. Giles, his sister and I spent ages clambering everywhere while my parents sat in the cafe (think the jet lag was kicking in). When we finished we saw three hot air balloons rise above the castle.
In the evening we had a curry take away and watched Midsomer Murders.
Sunday was a lazy day. We went to the Comedy Store in the evening and saw Paul Merton and the Comedy Store Players doing their improvisations.
All in all another successful birthday weekend!
