The birthday

Well, as birthdays go...it's gone!

Nothing special was planned for today (my birthday!! 21 again, and again, and again....) and I was quite glad of that fact for most of the day. I was very tired after my late night, made later by the fact I couldn't sleep with so much food so late in the evening! Does that just go to show that I'm getting old??

Anyway, I went back to school for a short while today, helping out in Megan's class, playing maths games! It was really good fun! And I indulged my sadistic side by making Meg stay and do a geography test instead of taking her away a wee bit early with me! Now, I wasn't cruel enough to go and leave her, you understand. I did stay in the class till she'd done the test, and she did still get out of school 5 minutes early!!

Then K phoned in the afternoon to suggest we go out to our favourite family restaurant for tea! That was a nice surprise, even though the thought of more food was not a good one! He then arrived home with a beautiful bunch of flowers...bless!

We go to a lovely restaurant on the riverside, called Milanos.   milano.ie

The food is good, the kids menu is just right and the atmosphere is great. We had a lovely dinner, and I just had to show you Meggie's dessert.  

Whet more could a girl ask for? A delicious Meggie-sized chocolate fudge cake, topped with smarties, and a lovely frothy chocolate topped bambinocino!

So, today I am grateful for my wonderful, unexpected, family birthday tea!

Gratefully yours.
