Birthday

Yesterday was spent mostly being a Birthday Girl.

In many ways it was an archetypal Orlaith-Birthday. The morning was spent sipping coffee and chilling out. The afternoon saw a purchase of art (a gorgeous mermaid sculpture) and me enjoying a good Cosmopolitan. Was fed & watered by the neighbours in the evening, complete with lovely fizzy, much laughter and swapping of stories.

I went to Reids Palace Hotel for the Cosmopolitan. It was unchanged; the place is filled with C-list royalty (the kind that pad the pages of Hello - not that I read it you understand). The overheard conversation is typically "What was the Japanese ambassador´s wife´s name again?" There was probably an ambassador´s reception going on somewhere. Filled with people being spoiled with ferrero rocher.

In any case, the cocktail was fab, as was the view. A lovely day!

Sounds slightly more peaceful than my end my little treasure (19 next week) is just attempting to play a Read Hot Chilli Peppers track on his fathers Peavey T-60 which is really pretty 'Under the Bridge' or something so finding it difficult to concentrate but HAPPY BIRTHDAY and I am shouting it very loud!
X hugs and kisses

Happy Birthday To Yooooooooooo!!! (again...)

Talk to you soon - looking forward to you being reunited with laptop. I suspect you're having internet withdrawal, a condition known to introduce beer frenzy :-)

Thanks to all for your birthday wishes - you sweethearts! Just off to collect my mermaid now (she was in being polished before coming home).

I like the beer frenzy excuse - I mean diagnosis :)

Polishing mermaids? Is that a euphemism for something?? :-)
