It was my birthday today! I had a busy day at work, raced to recover a sick daughter from school and get her to the doctors straight after work, round to my folk's to collect cards and a nice financial surprise, then shot home so daughter could make an appointment. After a couple of hours messing on the Playstation I scrubbed-up, a couple of great friends arrived and took me into town first for a pint then across the road for Italian food. The company was fantastic - some of my favourite people - the food was good and I managed to not get completely pissed, which was a welcome difference from birthdays past. A couple of us went back to my place to chill and play games and I had a lovely night which I'll remember as one of my better birthdays, as opposed to thinking it was good through a drunken haze.
