Yesterday was my birthday. I had a busy day. Birthday breakfast with my family in Elgin (here's my birthday buttery - yum!) in the morning, a long train journey with Dulcie in the afternoon and then a short evening with Graham back in Glasgow - prosecco and snacks while watching Gogglebox and The Trip.
To my great surprise, Graham had used his time alone in the flat to make (yes, make!) me a birthday cake - a delicious Victoria sponge. Here's one of the super-cute candles from it, which he found in a nearby hardware shop.
I've decided that if your birthday falls on a Friday that your birthday should officially last all weekend, so I'm still celebrating. I think the birthday weekend will be filled with cake, cheesy music and a trip to the zoo. Aren't I lucky that my birthday so often coincides with Eurovision? Poor Graham can't refuse. Ha!
I'll be back soon with some photos from my trip up north as well as a new regular feature, I hope. Oh, you are in for a treat, people. I found my diary from 1988 and it is hilarious. I'm planning to share it all in weekly installments. Time-travelling Tuesdays perhaps? Watch this space!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Saf :) A bearded lady won Eurovision (or was it a man in a dress?) so I couldn't really ask for more. We're heading off to the zoo today and Dulcie is very excited at the prospect of seeing a giraffe :)
DeleteHey Laura! Happy belated birthday, sounds like you had fun:) We enjoyed watching eurovision this year too and were rooting for Conchita!! Glad he/she won! jimmy saw a clip on tv and was quite bemused!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Moira :) Dulcie is obsessed with categorising people as boys or girls these days, though her criteria is slightly unusual at times. I wonder what she would make of Conchita!
