I know some of you are a bit sad that my cards and other things haven't reached me but please don’t be because I know the thought was there (and also it a nice thought that the man at the Post office has had some pictures and words to look at these last few weeks).
But I want to reassure you that I've had a good birthday regardless.
You see despite missing you all very much at these times, I have managed to surround myself with surrogates.
No this is not a ‘dial a party’ delivery of ready made guests, but all these people are my actual genuine friends. Not sure when I got this popular, or how for that matter, but it touched me last night that so many people came to celebrate with me.
Even better is that for 2 mornings running I've had chocolate cake for breakfast......
Not even that but it matched my outfit!!
I'm now, at last, living in luxury having been given my very own toaster as a present. Toaster in one hand, cocktail in the other - this is living
OK I may not always have the electricity to use this but still you have no idea how chuffed I am (so much so I appear to be knocked sideways - no idea why the above picture is rotated?!!)
.....
And finally, OK I may be spending my birthday alone in a hotel room, but good god I'm off to Nepal and yeah, I'll be working and will only have 1 day to sightsee, but I'm off to NEPAL!!!
So while no cake will ever taste as nice as the one's made for me by my friends and family back home. And no matter how many friends I make here, they can never replace you guys or my much loved family, but look – I’m blessed.
