I turned 28... I think... on Wednesday. It was only my second birthday ever away from family. I got a call from Mum and Dad and The Darling Sister who are all in London for a few days. They were all zonked out after a long day doing touristy things in the city, like riding the London Eye and having High Tea at Harrods and riding on red busses. So they called at about 10 pm and woke me up at 7 am (15 minutes before I set my alarm. So much for a quarter hour birthday sleep-in). It was a nice way to wake up, though.
Even my brother remembered to call! On the right day and everything.
I had a cake at work with all the team for afternoon tea which was very nice and they all signed a card for me.
After work I went out for dinner with my flat mates to Asakusa Japanese Restaurant. I love it there. It had only been open 1 day since it closed for renovations. We had one of the set menus consisting of several small courses. It was nearly more than I could eat.
Mr. Bitchy has been playing up because of the cold. I'm going to try to get him looked at to fix the problem on the weekend. I hope the solution is not too expensive. I've had to clutch start him twice already. I'm hoping he just needs a new battery and not a new starter engine.
