I admit, my birthday slipped my mind

angelophileEr... so, yes, it's been pointed out to me that I haven't spoken about my actual birthday at all. This confusion's arisen from the fact that I celebrated three times (once with one sister and family, last weekend with the other sister and family, on my actual birthday with my parents) and kind of lost track. Um...
Anyway, first up, many thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. There were lots of you. I'm not sure why it snowballed this year, since for the last few years I've barely remembered my own birthday myself, but the many birthday wishes were touching, so thanks to one and all.
I hate to disappoint, in that my birthday itself wasn't that exciting. Mostly because I had to work in the run-up to this week's deadline week. So, most of the day was spend sat behind a computer. Admittedly the computer was covered with balloons and bunting, but still work. I did get a nice bottle of wine out of the deal, though.
In the evening I met up with my parents, who are actually in country this year, after a few years of being off travelling at the time of my birthday. They were dog sitting for my sister, who had a few days away for half-term. We went out to a local Asian restaurant I favour, overlooking Poole harbour, which does a buffet style menu, which meant I got a nice mix of sushi, with a bit of red curry, crispy pork, salt and pepper chicken and kung po thrown in for good measure. The food there certainly covers a wealth of geography, but it'd probably make purists blanche. But I like it.
We headed back to my sister's for coffee and sat and watched some of Casino Royale before I had to head out. A nice preview to my holiday in ten or so days time, when I'm going out to Spain with them for a few days break. Well, they were going out to their apartment anyway, so for the cost of a flight, it seemed silly not to take a break while I can. No birthday present for me yet - we figured there'd be something on holiday I'd like, so they're going to treat me then.
It's nice to live a life of luxury.
Now back to deadline.
