Birthdays

Within expectations:

- Weekend dinners

- Facebook and email greetings

Surprises:

- Caramel cake. Thanks, J!

- Bargaining from my funny 2 y.o. friend: "Bath now and then cake, ok?"

- F, who asked, "You're 28?" No, I haven't been 28 in a while.

- All the marking I did not do. An uber productive morning.

- Little presents. Thanks, M!

- Chestnut cake with colleagues. Thanks, W!

- Running a lap with the whole school... and then finding out the event entailed 2.5 more laps. Next year!

- Lunch with colleagues.

- Dinner with a friend of a friend from out of town.

- Dinner with two old friends from Blighty.

I think more exercise is in order to prepare for next year's run. 364 days or so ... Cue Rocky.
