Birthday stuff!

Only a week late, but better late than never! Work, journeys, meetings; a busy week. And now I have the weekend to catch up.

As I mentioned in my post last week, Leela had cunning plans for my birthday, which were top secret. I had to test my car, so as I drove and she directed it turned out that we were going to Bath! Hurrah!

We had lunch up in the Slug and Lettuce - it's moved to where RSVP used to be, evoking memories of pub crawls and t-shirts and Kate. But it's all shiny and decorated nicely now, and there were no signs of drunk girls wielding board markers.

Leela had arranged another surprise: Tristan, who arrived in time for food. I had wondered why Leela had been stalling the waitress; I don't think I'm very intelligent sometimes. We ate, and then all wandered off to ShakeAway (hurrah!), went for a wander, and then had to say goodbye to Tristan, as he had to go off to Bristol. Leela and I then went and watched Hot Fuzz. I thought it was great, but she wasn't so impressed - she fell asleep halfway through...

That was the day itself; however, no entry about a birthday would be complete without thanking people for cards and birthday wishes, and bragging about my neato presents. Tristan gave me a loaded Starbucks card (now partially depleted, mmm), my dad paid for one of the latest rounds in the garage, and Leela's mum gave me a DVD and books. There was much chocolate from Leela, as well as several books and DVDs. Oh yes, and a Wii...

Yeah!! Am I not the best girlfriend ever?!! And I fell asleep at the END! Because it just wouldn't end, and I had eaten a huge lunch and was tired!

So there!!
