49

A scary birthday. I only have a year left before I have to admit to being a grown up.

I have had flowers, wine (lots), money, chocolates, a teddy bear bought by Sarah all on her own, my favourite sweets from David and 2 lovely books - including a photography one of course. Lunch with my father-in-law and now we are eating coffee and walnut cake.

My parents, who have been divorced for 35 years, and who have not spoken to each other in that whole time, both sent me the same card.

My treat this evening will be to watch the football.......

I posted the song that was number one on the day I was born a while back, so I checked all the number ones for my birthdays - I had a hard time choosing but went for this, number one on my 5th birthday.
