Today

[erastes]

(earlier)Going to cook today, instead of going out. I know I should want to go somewhere, but I’m just tired. I’m going to make chopped toad. Now, there’s a challenge for you non-English types. What on earth is chopped toad? And then fruit crumble—if I can get Dad interested enough to go and buy a bottle of cava and some custard we will be in for a pretty perfect dinner imho.

ETA: OK – so it wasn’t exactly perfect. Remind me not to do birthdays with Dad in future – it’s self defeating, and only makes me miserable. I’d be better off going somewhere alone next time. Food was nice though!  And now I have the evening to myself, and have all the kind wishes to reply to – you are all so kind – and some good tv to watch. Downton Abbey being one – it’s the penultimate one. *sob*

Thank you - silly of me to put so much store on birthdays, but they've always been a special day.

Not silly at all. They *are* a special day.
