more birthdays
This time a very happy birthday to Single Cookie, who although in my mind is a young little thing, is getting on like the rest of us, although she doesn't quite need a fire engine on standby when the candles on her cake are lit. We celebrated her happy day yesterday at a restaurant in the murder capital of South East London and a jolly time was had by all, especially Mr McMuffin who after a couple of Single Cookie's amazing margaritas felt no pain. After sharing a bottle of wine with Mrs Carrot Cake, his pain felt no pain either. I, of course, just looked on with a sour face, fantasising about a cold bottle of Hoegaarden in seven weeks' time but not the celebratory cigar.

Oh yes. I'm not ready for the big day though, but I'm sure I'll be screaming for it if I get much bigger than this.

"Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years. Lady Dumbleton is an instance in point. To my knowledge she has been thirty-five ever since she arrived at the age of forty, which was many years ago now."
Lady Bracknell to Jack Worthing, Act III "The Importance of Being Earnest", Oscar Wilde
I, however, am twenty-six, as I have been telling you all for the last 9 years.

Darling, you don't need to remind me that you're only 26 as I am a mere 3 years older than you and very much looking forward to being a woman of 35.
