Well, Now That's Out Of The Way!

Phew. It's all over. And I have come out of it unscathed. Interesting. Woke up yesterday morning and it didn't really feel like my birthday. But then, what does a birthday feel like...? Opened some pressies, very nice, had some breakfast and went off to London.

Ah London. I have a rather ambiguous attitude to our great capital. On the one hand I enjoy visiting as there's always something new to do, or least something I haven't done or seen before. On the other hand, there are so many people and they're always in such a hurry! And I usually leave with a headache, especially if I've been near Oxford Street. Weird. I had a lovely day out though, particularly our trip on the London Eye. I've wanted to go on it for ages, so it was a good birthday treat :-) I quite fancied visiting the British Film Museum until we realised it wasn't free and we'd just spent quite a lot on the Eye! So that idea gave way to a nice, albeit rather windy, walk up past the Houses of Parliament into Trafalgar Square and on towards Tottenham Court Road (where I nearly got blown off my feet). The British Museum was our destination of choice and very good it was too. I came away with a novelty USB stick in the shape of an Egyptian mummy. I think it's cute. But then I can be a bit strange.

Dinner at Pizza Express followed, where they were doing 20p puddings. Dough balls with Nutella dip? It would be rude not to for 20p! Then the inevitable headachey walk down to Oxford Circus tube station. I do wonder why it is that this particular stretch of pavement gives me a headache. Not just me either. The BF got one too. Probably a sympathy headache ;-)

As predicted, I gave my age hardly a fleeting thought. A teeny tiny one maybe, but for the most part I was just having a nice day out. And the fact that the BF was treating me made it all the better :-) Although I did buy him a hot chocolate. It seems that being 30 hasn't hit me yet. Or maybe I have accepted it. After all, it is a fact. What else is there to do but accept it? Can't turn the clock back. However, I received two cards with the number 30 on and I admit to feeling frowny about that. Oh and my birthday cake has a huge 3-0 on. That section will be the first to be eaten. Destroy the evidence obviously! Then deny all knowledge. What is this 'thirty' you speak of?
