This morning I woke up at 6.30, Stu had an early morning start in York, so I woke up hazily and had my first presents in bed with a cup of tea. A beautiful bracelet from Stuey - silver, with lots of dainty dried flowers captured in glass bubbles. My favourite forget me nots, rose buds and other tiny beauties. :) He did very well as its hard for Stu to buy something which isn't useful- his first ideas had been along the lines of a leather jacket, so I can ride on the back of his motorbike, which I pointed out was a present for me for him. After I emphasised I'd really like something to keep forever he came up the idea of a pen knife!
As It was only 5 to 7 when Stu left I had more tea in bed and read some poetry from 'Staying Alive' Some tragic news got me thinking about the reckless uncertainties of life. Beautiful souls are ripped from the world too young everyday. I read some poetry that really immortalised the sense of loss, and the not knowing that is sometimes the only constant.There is no rhyme or reason to the world. The only way I can think of this positively is to be awake and alert to everything around me as much as possible.
I had a lovely breakfast in a transformed lounge that my beautiful house mate Emma had prepared the night before- sunshine banners, party poppers and an array of cards, gifts and flowers finished off fantastically by my monkey!
Walked to my meeting at another teaching agency with my new swanky Cath Kiddson shoulder bag, just had lovely skype session with my Mum and B and more lovely gifts. Some really thoughtful gorgeous things to keep forever. I'm feeling lucky and have lots of celebrating still to be done.
Now going to get clean, ran out of time faffing this morning and get myself to the allotment, and into the birthday spirit. Having big lamb dinner today with loads of veggies, my favourite. Some bubbles and maybe a bit of dancing out at a band night on at Barcolo if we've still got some energy to burn!
