Dear Diary, Birthday

This last week was brilliant, I caught up with friends and family (including my gorgeous but rarely seen cousin) and got cuddles from all of them. This has been a great birthday – thank you to everyone for making it fun and making me feel loved.

• emergency gardening with middle brother (no one fell out of any trees)
• birthday party with friends and balloons and balloons and dessert (and balloons!)
• breakfast with pop who is finally back from Sydney, he has cool stories to tell and love to pass on (and spare 500GB portal HDDs for me - yay! *guiltily backs up data*)
• dinner with baby brother, mama and cousin (we are scarily in synch; me Mama and cousin all thought Cyclamens would make a good present this year - they do!)
• bought new front tyres for Lambert (replaced now completely munted spare with the less crappy one)

You can dress up anything if you want to

I saw a lass in a black burkha while I was visiting the post office¹, she had a lanyard around her neck with bright pink letters reading GIRLS RULE – this makes me happy.
