Tuesday 30th July

For those of you who don't know, it was my birthday yesterday! And I had a very unusual but none -the -less lovely day!

It started with hubby singing (sort of) happy birthday at 6am and was followed at 7:15am by the arrival of a gorgeous four and half month old baby girl-I was allowed full babysitting duties until 2pm, how exciting was that! She was perfectly well behaved which allowed me to open all my cards/gifts and receive a steady stream of visitors wishing me happy birthday!!

Got out for a dog walk at 3ish, in the rain......but luckily it stopped just before our tennis match at 4:30pm. A speedy turn around at home and straight out for a quick supper and then we went to see Despicable Me 2- it was funny but not quite as good as we had hoped, anyway a very different birthday all in all!

I am so lucky to have so many friends/family and as one son put in his card- "I am sure this birthday will be far better than last years" or words to that effect.

A quote copied from last years blog:- “Every year on your birthday, you get a chance to start new.”
