Number 35

It's my birthday today, and I have reached the dizzy heights of 35 years old. I've taken a long hard look at my shadow, and don't think I look any older... do I?

A lovely day, with cards, presents, flowers, the beach and doukissa cake (a chocolate biscuit cake). Mark has very sweetly pretended he is not feeling rough, and is cooking my favourite dinner, while some champagne cools, and we have a film to watch later. Genuinely my idea of a perfect day (except I wish Mark was actually well!).
