Recipe for a fabulous birthday
Hang out with friends. Eat cake. Watch silly movies.
I had a great birthday yesterday, with thanks to the many friends who made it so. The morning was a trip to the original bridge for playing Pooh sticks at, as immortalised in Winnie the Pooh, to meet a long held ambition of Becca's. We played Pooh sticks, admired Eeyore's house and had cream tea on the bridge.
In the afternoon we had a party with 16 people in the house, an ombre cake and millionaire's shortbread that Janet made for me (thank you!!), nutella cupcakes and chocolate chip/peanut butter cookies from Marilisa (thank you!!), snacky things various and much lovely conversation and laughter all afternoon.
Part way through I discovered that Becca had enabled the dread Cthulu to invade my house! He is most disappointed to learn that there is very little sanity in the house from him to destroy but has vowed to do what he can to prevent any from developing by camping out in my plates cupboard and leering down at me.
After everyone had left and we finally found enough appetite for dinner we settled down to watch Guardians of the Galaxy, my birthday present from Phil, which Becca & Gray hadn't ever seen.
Thank you everyone who came and everyone who sent birthday greetings (FB is a cranky blogging site at best, but it's very nice on birthdays).
Yay, birthday!!!!
