Celebrations!

Cards and flowers – a sprig of rosemary blossom from my breakfast-in-bed tray [which even had a heart shaped butter pat!] a bouquet from Alwyn next door, and a cool posy of Fairtrade Felt Flowers posted to me by Elisabeth in Leicester.

Bunting strung across the window [this is just a card string discarded by somebody else after their party - but it is still great fun, even if it is not pukka sewn fabric triangles]

And a pompom twirling under the light. This isn’t really ‘birthday’ decoration, it is a wedding prototype – but it adds to the joy.

Add to that good wishes from many friends [thankyou] I feel truly blessed this morning. And one other very wonderful piece of news – TPA have started paying my pension! We awoke to find the bank account looking healthier than it has done for years!

Thus far it has been calculated without the missing bit, but a very helpful lady at Leics City Council is sorting that out for me, following some long phone calls this week. Answered prayers all round.

If I am now a rich old lady, does that make Bob my toyboy? My man is currently in the kitchen, preparing the meal for tonight – which will include smoked turkey. It is my sis-in-law Marion’s birthday too, so there will be two of us celebrating!
