The Never-Ending Birthday

My Dear Princess and Dear Friends,

Last night we went to Jefe and Manda's place for yet another birthday party. 

Still mine.

The reason is that Jade (pictured about with Manda and Caro) is their live-in landlady and her partner Chris has a birthday on the 5th. So we were celebrating jointly. 

It seems somehow ironic that I've spent years not really celebrating. Or at least trying not to celebrate - but this year it seems like I'm not allowed to STOP.

We had a very good night. We played silly games and movie trivia and watched Jefe get drunk while Manda rolled her eyes. We got home at about 1.30, determined to lie in and sleep late.

Determined.

Meow.

Meow.

Me - 

- Ow.

So sleeping late was NOT an option, thank you so much Mr. Punky. But we have made up for it by being very quiet today. We watched the Downton Abbey movie and listened to the rain. 

Strangely, it started raining the morning Dave died and feels like it has not stopped since. 

It doesn't hurt as much as it did but this allegorical weather is not helping.
