I'm celebrating yet another birthday today and have had a thoroughly great day. I was woken at 7am by my mother who asked why I sounded so tired when I answered the phone (she lives in South Africa so is an hour ahead)and have had calls from friends, parents, siblings, aunts, ex-sil, etc who all thorougly spoilt me with various gifts ranging from a beautiful lidded pot with a bumble bee on (my name means "bee" in hebrew), jewellery, flowers, plants, vase, etc. Dh bought me a beautiful black Lalique heart that I've wanted for ages and look what J & S gave me (they went to town last friday straight from breaking up at school to buy this lovely gift of Swarovski tulips in a crystal vase. I have been thoroughly spoilt. One of my sisters arrived at 10am
armed with flowers, a plant and a chocolate caterpiller birthday cake, her two year old daughter and four year old son. We went for a blissful walk with the children and Grumpy at Val de la Mare damn (very pretty) and I forgot that small children have small legs and can't walk that far so poor sis ended up carrying them back to the car, Grumpy dived into the water and had to be hauled out but it was great fun.
Went to the Watersplash at St Ouen's beach for lunch and sat outside (a bit cold but had the dog) and then home and tonight I'm opening a bottle of this all to myself and watching my Atonement DVD that arrived in the post today from the wonderful Amazon.

Happy Birthday, Debs! Sounds like you've had a fantastic day. Chocolate caterpillar cake and Moet, what decadence. I could always help you out with a glass or two if you're struggling to get through it. Enjoy the rest of your evening!

Hi Debs, Happy belated birthday. (I'm sure I put a comment on, blogger monster must have eaten it.) Hope you had a lovely day xx
I'm glad you had such a nice day. ~Good for you for taking the day off work.
Taking a leaf from your book, I've also booked a day's annual leave when it's my birthday. I quite fancy a day out at the seaside, but I live slap-bang in the middle of the country and the nearest beach is about 80 miles away.
l-plate author - thanks very much, I did enjoy my day.
motherx - thanks, yes it was.
karen - thanks, it was rather good, wasn't it.
l-plate author - sorry, was late checking my messages, which is probably why your first one didn't appear earlier.
annieye - thanks, it was a lovely, relaxing day.
Good for you booking a day off for your birthday. It has to be done if at all possible, I think.
