Two years ago on my birthday it snowed, and I was
rather hoping it might do the same today. No such luck, but it did feel cold
enough to. Oh well maybe tomorrow
OK yes it is my birthday and no I’m not going to
tell you how old I am. As The Man wrote in my card ‘It’s not about age it’s
about what you do with your life’ And I always say age is just a number. old is
inside you head…
Not only was it my Dad’s birthday yesterday and mine
today, it is a daughter’s birthday tomorrow and a granddaughters birthday the
day after.
So what did we do today?
We wrapped ourselves up very warmly, gloves,
scarves, and ear muffs. Well I wore the ear muffs and The Man wore his cap. Down
to the station, and on the train to get to Stratford, which is also where the Olympic
park was. A huge amount of money was spent here, and the site looks pretty
deserted.
So into the mall and to Starbucks, where I had
arranged to meet two new cousins. Our great grans were sisters. I think it is
interesting how complete strangers, which is what we were, can feel like family
on meeting. Starbucks was very very busy and noisy but we swapped stories and
got out the pictures of our families to share. Hopefully we will meet up again
before Christmas.
There I’ve mentioned the C word, which reminds me of
an add for the perfect present for ‘Him’. What is it? Nothing less than a
beard/stubble trimmer that has 22 settings. Talk about designer stubble . And talking
about TV adds, we are constantly amazed to see all the advertisements that promote gambling, namely Bingo, and
other forms of gambling too. These sites offer ‘free’ money when you join up. (Can
you hear me shaking my head?)
