Birthday Boy…

Well November 11th has came and nearly went for another year and the hair on this fine head is a bit less and greyer’ if there is such a word. Last month I pumped in a few days holiday to co-inside with my weekend off for November so the joy is that I’m off for 4 days without eating up to much annual leave.

So today was actually the first birthday I’ve had off for the last couple of years. Shame was everyone else was working but I awoke this morning to the kids bringing me some pressies and I was up quite sharp to take the boys to school..

The weather recently has been awful and frankly I have been searching for a new jacket for weeks, so today I thought, need to get this sorted. So off to the town I went, and spent most of the morning in Ayr.

So my birh’day’ has been like any other day. Tonight, Maryann brought us a choc cake in, to a rendition of ‘happy birthday’ from the Boys.

This weekend we are heading up to Glasgow,around lunch time for an afternoon around the shops, lunch and even booked a hotel for a rare overnight stay. Then out at night with friends in the west end. Should be a hoot.

Today I went over the half way mark in my 30’s. This is very scary. The years are flying by at an increasingly alarming rate, similar to what I posted last month about Andrew hitting his 9th birthday…

This time of year is always very busy with birthdays with 5 close family members and 3 friends all within Oct-Dec… So an expensive time of year also….

I am always conscious that my birthday is the same date as remembrance day and I always like all of you am grateful to those whom have given their lives in defence of peace and freedom. For if our grandfathers had not given what they did all those years ago, I most probably would not be typing this blog on 11.11.10.
