Today is my Dad’s birthday, he would have been 77. My Aunt was 75 this year, my Dad never reached 75 and he was her older brother. I guess I’m a bit stuck on that, probably because he was stuck on getting older than his Dad. Had a drink with my sister and Mum over … Read More
Opening presents in bed is something The Jellicle and I like to do. One of the reasons I was pretty sad about her being ill was not being able to do that, we approximated it though, with FaceTime. Isn’t living in the future fantastic? Mum got me a lovely bag and The Jellicle found me … Read More
Today started with some disappointment for me, I like my birthday, very much and I like making something of it. Some years that has been having a cuppa and cake with DS Luke, always I take it off work and have done my whole adult life. Sometimes I have a full roast dinner with my … Read More

I like to wear jewellery, one thing that really cheered me up during the pandemic was wearing jewellery. This bracelet started out life as a tourist trinket for evil eye averting in Greece: At some point during the pandemic I was wearing a pentacle, a St Christopher and this evil eye bracelet to the extent … Read More
Cake is love. The Princess has been baking my birthday cakes since I was eleven. Gary Rhodes Death by Chocolate is hands down my favourite but she says she’ll only bake that once a decade (it’s complex as all hell). I’m on three in my lifetime so far. If I die I want it on … Read More
One thing I do like about going to my niblings birthday parties is I essentially get to LARP as a perfectly normal person. I got asked if the Tiny Yokai was mine several times, I was amused. I also got to wear my dinosaur dress and it was excellent fun, I need a better bra … Read More
Last night I got a message inviting me to a birthday celebration at the end of March. It’s at the place Beautiful Lute and I roleplayed in immediately before our first date last year.
