You came twice

Yip, my birthday came twice.
Perhaps a little bit of selfishness on my part, but i got to paaarty twice!
Such pleasant and fun times with a few of the amazing friends i have. One time i will have a great big party where loads can come - maybe in 4 years when the big 40 strikes!
One party in my home-town with new and precious friends.
One in old home-town with old and dear friends.
Both had great food and beverage. both had laughs, photos, and chattering.

It's great to get dressed up, even though my first outfit was a nightmare. i could not control where the 'off-the-shoulder' sleeve wanted to fall and all night i was annoyed and hacked off with it. Mental note to self: don't wear that again in a hurry!
The first was at a fav cafe in old-town.

The second was at friends.

Curry was cooked, dessert was baked and all i made was this lucious drink (freeze blueberries with cranberry juice in ice cube trays and when ready to serve, add lemonade!). It was popular but not as favoured as the incredible curry eaten around the table together, or the fabulous puds made by my lovely Hannah!

I always say it's good to celebrate, even when your birthday is close to Chrissy-mas. And it is. Make sure you do, whatever the ocassion. It is perfect for being with people you love.
