I had a lovely Birthday yesterday and the weather was fine and reasonably warm. Mike had decorated with Birthday banners and balloons.
Becky and the boys came over in the afternoon and later we were joined by Dean. We all had a lovely Chinese meal together and, of course, Birthday cake.
I did very well for presents. Mike gave me an external drive for the computer, something I had long wanted. Now I will not lose anything precious if the computer goes down as my other computer once did and I had not backed anything up. I have already transferred lots of photos and graphics onto the new drive.
Him Indoors also gave me a new mouse mat with a wrist support and a cup warmer that plugs into a USB port and keeps your tea or coffee hot. I wonder if he is hinting that I spend quite a lot of time on here!
From the family I had a very pretty top with perfectly matching earrings and some cosmetic cream that I had particularly requested. Nathan gave me a bunch of pink Carnations, Daniel gave me a bunch of yellow Carnations and from both of them a lovely photo frame. Across the top it says "For You Nan" and it has flowers embossed on it. Inside the frame was a beautiful picture of both boys. You can see Nathan holding it in the top left-hand picture that I have posted.
It was a truly happy day. We rounded it off by watching some Madness videos through the computer. Becky, Dean and I have always been fans of this band and now the two little guys love them as well.
How they had the energy to keep going I do not know, they had both been up since 6 a.m. and both been to school/pre-school. When they left I whispered to them both individually "thank you for making Nana's day so special". Daniel whispered "that's alright Nana, I liked it" and Nathan said "Love you Nana". I think those comments were as good as any present.
Thanks to all who sent me e-cards and e-mails. I feel a bit tired today after all the excitement and having the boys here two days in a row!
Love from
