Apologies. It was my birthday and I got so wrapped up in me, me, me that I completely forgot that it was also my friend Alan's birthday (I did text him), Tony Blair's birthday (didn't text him) and George Clooney's (wanted to text him). And so as penance I've posted these pictures ;0)

In pictures, sort of:

(I had my lap top in a ruck sack which is why my shadow looks a bit like a Ninja Turtle
Views along my walk (I'm so lucky to live close enough to enjoy this walk to work)
It's refreshing to know that I have such an innocent reputation around the office. Several people asked Nadia if the card was a little too rude for me. In fact it made me snort with laughter, it was perfect. And I spent most of the day eating the cake, after all a chocolate high is a good state to  be working in...
Decided to have a picnic at lunch time (Nadia actually got a tan mark).
Or two with Mosh and my friend Kate followed by delicious chinese at my favourite restaurant in China Town: Fung Shing (soft shell crab followed by honey roasted eel, delicious)
And back home to open my pressies which were particularly fab this year, most notable being a new digital camera which is a much better version of the one I've already got from Mosh and some headphones to replace the ones I lost in Cuba and a beautiful silver bangle from my friend Chris with a quote from my favourite Shakespearean play on it.
Also got a massive haul of my favourite brand of plain chocolate which should probably last me weeks but probably won't...

How do you feel about your birthday?  Do you look forward to it and remind all your friends, or do you dread it and try to keep it a secret?

Anyone who knows me, will not be surprised in the least by this answer but I LOVE my birthday. I love planning it and bore everyone with talking about it for the weeks running up to it.
You only get one birthday a year so why not celebrate it or use it as the perfect excuse to do something special or that you really enjoy?
I also like making a fuss of other people's birthday's too: planning surprises, getting the perfect present and making a cake...
