My Birthday
First of all we were woken by the cats! Cookie was sleeping on top of the printer as I’ve put a towel over it. Bizarrely he found a way to take it out of standby, I reckon he managed to stand on the button throught the towel. So we had that to deal with, then Wills decided to announce himself by crashing out on the bed alongside Ellie.
I opened my birthday cards, checked my text, Facebook, Twitter and email. A fair number of wishes sent by all. I thank everyone.
Taking a chill-out watching the olympics and stuff, slowly getting ready for our lunch at the Barley Mow. This will be the first time that Ellie’s and my parents have met, so that was another reason for the get-together. All went smoothly, plenty of food and wine, excusing the poor service (which was a shame).
Following lunch we booked tickets to see The Dark Knight, so we headed over to Basingstoke, bought some sweets and sat down to immerse ourselves in the fantasy Gotham City. I thought it was pretty good, I did have reservations about the inconsistencies and the unbelievable. Then I had to remind myself that it’s a fantasy world.
After our trip to the cinema we came home via Al Fresco’s where we bought a couple of pizzas to take away. So so so nice.
To finish of the evening a couple of glasses of wine and a snooze on the sofa was in order.
