I had an excellent birthday, thank you to everyone who has sent me birthday wishes! Leela and I went around exploring a bit more of the Cotswolds on Sunday, and on my actual birthday on Monday we went to the ever-awesome Cotswold Wildlife Park. When we got back, Leela had made me a birthday cake:
It was good:
We finished the days off with a trip to the cinema on Tuesday to see The Lovely Bones - which wasn't nearly as bad as the reviews made out, and I thought it turned out to be quite a good film. In addition to all of the trips and cake, we had an excessive number of meals and assorted edibles over the course of several days around my birthday - thai, mexican, cooked breakfast, fish and chips, picnic, ribs, Nando's and pizza, and of course, plenty of chocolate. It was awesome.
Unfortunately I haven't been to the gym since this gluttony because I was feeling too full and/or lazy, and now Leela can't go either because she has fallen over flat on her face on a wet floor on the ward in front of a bay full of patients, and has seriously damaged her shoulder.
Still, as my grandfather apparently always used to say, there's always another day tomorrow not touched. Although I do have an appointment for a session with Chris at the gym, where I will no doubt pay for my transgressions. But no matter the pain tomorrow, it has been worth it for a very enjoyable 3+ days of birthday fun.
