… to me! And I’m at the age where you don’t count the years that you have had, you count those that you have left. And a decision from the Environmental Authorities ruled out the possibility of a birthday cake – fears of Global Warming apparently.

Despite having a reasonable night last night, I was wide awake yet again at 06:30 – dunno whose alarm it is that’s going off at that time. I wish that I wasn’t such a light sleeper.

I could only manage a small breakfast too, and then I came down here for a morning of not very much at all. After all, it is my birthday. I just had a chat with a few people on the internet.

Round about 11:00 I went up into town and the Delhaize for a walk but I wasn’t out long. It was fairly nice, if rather windy, up in town and it started to rain just as I arrived back here. I’d been lucky for once. And as it’s my birthday, I treated myself to a bag of Bombay Mix and a bottle of Dandelion and Burdock that I had bought from the English shop the other day.

This afternoon, I had rather a health relapse and spent most of it fast asleep. I dunno why because it’s not as if I’ve been doing very much. A sign of the times, unfortunately.

Tea was exciting. Now that we have some freezer space I had bought some frozen veg to replace the tinned stuff. And so tea tonight was curried mashed potato with frozen peas and carrots and a veggie burger. And absolutely delicious it was too, smothered in vegan margarine.

And so now it’s beddie-byes time. Tomorrow I’m going to start packing and to empty my room here. If all goes to plan, I’ll be leaving here Tuesday so I need to organise myself
