Up bright and early with nothing planned except work. I got a few things sorted and then opened my birthday presents — I already knew about the trousers and jumper, but I also got a T-shirt which I’m pleased with. Tash headed off to work and I continued with the day as normal. Didn’t mention it was my birthday and nobody from work said anything — that’s how it is with this company.
It wasn’t a desperately busy day, so that was good, and I was able to clock off at the usual 4:30pm. I went to collect Sue and brought her back to ours, then my mum arrived, and Charlotte and Miles came too. We had a nice evening together.
A couple of beers - early start tomorrow — and fair to say I’d had enough last weekend anyway. Really nice presents all round, and Charlotte and Miles got me something from my 50th list: a bus tour around Oxford with a few pub stops included. Should be great — really looking forward to that.
It wasn’t a boozy or late night — I think everyone left around 9pm — so I went on Facebook to check messages. Nice to hear from people I don’t usually interact with. Watched a bit of TV and then off to bed.
Reflection:
A simple birthday this year — nothing over the top — but good company, thoughtful gifts, and enough to make me feel appreciated.
