This is the birthday cake my lovely granddaughters made for me yesterday. They and their dad rang the front door bell, and when I opened the inner door, they had put presents and cards in the porch, together with the cake, and the candle lit! They sang Happy birthday through the front door glass. I felt quite tearful.....
Anyway, good morning to all from a sunny Northampton. No plans for today except for the usual household jobs.
My birthday dinner was a disaster! Had planned to eat about 6.45pm, but DD wanted a video chat on WhatsApp at 6 o'clock, which went on for half an hour. Just as we were finishing the landline went and it was my brother wanting a chat, so that was another 20 minutes and by that time the duck was burnt to a crisp, and I still had to cook the saute potatoes and make the orange sauce. The duck was near enough inedible and the best thing on the plate was the potatoes. Even the orange sauce didn't turn out right! Ah well, the Prosecco made up for it!
Later on I rang my cousin who also had a birthday yesterday and had a good long chat. He is a year older than me. We have always exchanged cards, and I felt bad because I hadn't been able to get one for him this year, and I had a lovely one from him.
Have a troublesome ear at the moment; I've either got an infection or it is badly blocked, it's been going on for a week to 10 days. I shall put an order in for some eardrops and some Otex when I get a delivery slot to see if that does any good. There is no way I am going anywhere near the surgery. Remember having it before, and it was just a matter of waiting ages before it cleared up on its own.
Hoping we all have a good day.
