Had a lovely if unusual birthday. I arranged to have lunch with old friend, then invited new friend, so was a bit odd, but pleasant enough. Then went to see my Aunt as I'd had news her sister (my other aunt) had recently died. Got phone number of my cousin from her, so was able to ring with condolences. My aunt is now last of the siblings as my father and his brother and other sister now gone.
My friends were amused that I was cooking for my lover and me on my birthday, but I like us sharing a meal and like eating at home. I thought about a take away, but we both like roast lamb and it's now become our celebratory meal together.
Was very strange spending night together and lovely not to be clock watching. We both had a broken night, but quite happy just to have been together.
As usual he was brilliant on present front and I now have full collection of Daphne DuMaurier to work through as well as puzzles, computer stuff, chocolates and music.
I'm really enjoying being in my fifties.
