Nice day

I had a really great birthday (and I normally don't like birthdays) yesterday. Got lots of phone calls, messages and emails. Thank you! It was really nice to have a relaxed day. Went to the library, of course, but had a long lunch (with dessert!) and stopped caring about not being finished. Took the bus back to Waterloo at eight, and as I was sitting there, going over Waterloo bridge, looking at the setting sun playing over the Houses of Parliament, it didn't matter that I don't have my PhD yet, no kids and no job. I am quite happy anyway. And sweet, sweet Tim took me to dinner at a rather fancy place and made the staff sing for me (ha ha ha!). Came back home and opened the cards that had arrived, and the gift from my family (a camera, so there'll be plenty more photos coming up here in the future). I was all smiles! I think I could get used to being twenty-ten.

Tonight I am finally off to Sweden. Can hardly wait!
