Birthday!

Today is my birthday and not only was I allowed a long lie in (although to be fair both of my girls are really rather marvellous at letting me 'sleep out' as the Germans put it) but M brought me breakfast in bed.  She only woke me to bring me the phone when my Mum phoned at about 9.30am to wish me Happy Birthday, and I was just waking by this point anyway.  After this K & M came and snuggled in bed for another chapter of Harry Potter before we all got up and had some more Harry Potter!  K & M made birthday for Great Grandma to post in time for Friday, but didn't get round to Great Grandad's for Saturday, so that's something that needs doing tomorrow.  I decided I would like to try out a new cafe that a friend had recommended, so we went for hot chocolate and cake, which was lovely, hot chocolate in jugs with proper cups and saucers and absolutely enormous slices of cake (we brought some home in a doggie bag!).  Then there was more Harry Potter - it's getting a bit too scary to stop at times, so my voice is getting a bit worn out!  Only two more chapters to go with book two.  Tomorrow is, as Thursdays generally are, is busy, but I think we'll probably manage to finish it off.
