Best Birthday Ever!

So today is the day I seriously enter my forties. (41! Who'd 'a thought it?) I decided I'd like a nice relaxing day, so the Sweetie obliged. He made pancakes this morning, and we're going to hit an afternoon matinee of The History Boys, followed by sushi at one of our favourite Japanese restaurants. (It's the one where we had one of our very first dates - ten years ago! - and where I first taught him how to use chopsticks properly.)

And is if I needed further proof that he is in fact the best Sweetie ever, he (and the lovely m. butterfly) got me the best present I could possibly imagine.

( No, it's not diamonds... )

And for the Pros fen among you, I've posted a birthday present to myself, a new Pros story, Do You Know What I Know, over at discoveredinalj. Mellow, but hopefully not maudlin, Bodie and Doyle, and a return of the Doyle family I created in last year's Comfort and Joy trilogy.

Birthday Wishes

Big wishes for a happy birthday to milady22, with whom I share a natal day.

Hope it was a great day!
