It's official I am now 'in my forties'. No, no, it's fine, honestly, I can take it. I still feel 23 which makes me understand now that someone in their 70s probably still feels 23 too. I woke up on my birthday to a pile of cards, presents and flowers (thank you Liz and Mike) sent from near and far. Rob did himself proud with an amazing book of Vanity Fair portraits I had been after for ages, a lovely coat and two tickets to see Cate Blanchett as Stella in the Sydney Theatre Company production of A Streetcar Named Desire, which is on in September.
As Rob had to spend most of the day sleeping off a night shift, I took Scarlett to school and then Flo and I went to glorious Redleaf Pool to meet Julia and Tess and Jo and Zebadee. We had coffee and cupcakes and basked in amazing Autumnal sunshine. It was warm enough to swim and I was annoyed I'd forgotten my swimmers. In the evening The Duthie family went up to Annandale for a lovely early dinner of pasta and pizza at Vicini, a great local Italian where kids eat free. Tuesday is a top telly night in Sydney so I happily plopped on the couch in front of the box for the rest of May 6. Thanks to all for cards, presents and phone calls. Maria, your parcel arrived today - I love it, a perfect fit.
