Birthday wrapup January 29, 2005

Filed under: Uncategorized — Mark @ 10:47 am

I’m not a big fan of my birthday. I like to mark the day (which is why I always organise a day off work for it and buy myself a present), but I’m really not interested in celebrating as such. I might think about it for next year, though - we’ll see.

So what did I do for my birthday? I went shopping with The Mavis. Shopping is something we do well together and it’s been a while since we’ve been off on our own. We went to DFO and she bought me 5 tops and lunch for my birthday. It was a lovely outing, in spite of the fact that the centre’s airconditioning was almost non-existant.

Wandering around an un-airconned shopping centre with a 77 year old woman on a 30 something degree day has it’s moments, but she did very well. I think I was probably a bit more wobbly from the heat than she was. It must be all the lawn bowls she plays these days.

I also bought myself a nice little black cardi for work and some tshirts and found Foozley’s first sandals.

Then I trundled back across the bridge to takeaway chook for dinner and the Cabaret dvd on the telly.

Pretty good, really.
