It’s My Party...

..and I’ll cry if I want to!

Another year older, another year wiser....perhaps not :-))

Been a real grouch most of the day then the boys joined us for tea and an alcohol infused hour or two/three! A double celebration as shielding has now been lifted here in Scotland...hopefully it’ll last. Hubby went birthday tea shopping in M&S this morning...we need a meal, I said; make sure to get something Rob (lactose intolerant vegetarian sil) can eat; bring veg! Hmmm we got meaty party snacks and some salad so I had to knock up some pasta for me and Rob otherwise everyone else was happy.

A bit subdued as my friend is in hospital...blue lighted Monday evening and major op Tuesday morning. Usually we celebrate with a lunch date but that’s now on hold indefinitely. It seems none of my sisters have aided Mum sending me a card so either she hasn’t or more probably she’s sent it to our old address! Hubby bought gorgeous flowers...and a chocolate hamper! Having now lost a stone in weight over lockdown I didn’t need to be encouraged to put it on again but I don’t think he understands that :-(  Daughter bought me a jigsaw and a bag of salted caramel honeycomb...just enough of a treat not to do lasting damage. MC and hubby brought some handmade pottery one of their friends is making...it will likely get blipped at a later date and eldest brought a bottle of pink fizz! So I have been spoilt a little bit :-)

I had expected the kids to provide some sarcastic cards suitable for Silly Saturday...two out of three forgot and the third went sentimental! I wasn’t winning today!!

The dandelion seed head has been desperately clinging to the conservatory window ledge for several weeks now...practising for the AOG’s dangling category. I had to delicately inform it that AOG was for critters of which it wasn’t one!

Thanks to KangaZu for hosting Silly Saturday this month.
