Happy Birthday To Me!
Feb. 4th, 2015 03:21 pmThank you very much to everybody for glorious 40th birthday messages and emails and phone calls and such!
Must admit that the prize for best message totally goes to my brother Ptolemy and sis-in-law Cassandra, who sent a series of photos of my brand new nephew Archer holding penguin-shaped messages for me! I haven't even been well enough to meet Archer yet, so that was super extra special :)
Unfortunately my health has been pretty crappy since Christmas so I've been mostly resting and resting and watching crappy TV and resting and looking at silly cat pictures and resting some more ... BORING! We have reinstated some dropped medications though so hopefully that will help me pick up. Unpredictability is hard to deal with. Sorry for all the people whose events I've had to cancel at the last minute.
Health aside, things are going well. Urdu study preceeds apace (165 words at last count) and I have been making the most of time spent staring out the window by participating in the Bathing Birds summer survey. In the bits of time where I've felt better, Aama and I have been decluttering our little flat and rearranging the living room so everything looks roomy and neat which is nice when I spend all day here.
Life is good.
PS
The photo below is a bowl of yummy chocolate custard with whipped cream and almonds on top. Anne brought it over to have with a very enjoyable birthday dinner last night. Thank you Annie!!
Cheers,
Ricky
