Today is my birthday. I guess that I am now a little older and wiser. I have received birthday texts from Jeff and Res, which is nice. Jeff of course has offered me an all expenses paid trip to one of the rooms one can rent for meetings with lovers. I think there is no end date on his offer at the moment.
Res is in hospital, he had a big OP yesterday, but he will be okay. The illness has however released lots of emotions in his family, and brought them all closer together. Good for him, and also not painful for me, we can remain friends.

My husband is having to take the afternoon off to get me a gift. I refuse to feel guilty about that. My birthday is always on the same date every year, surely it isn't that difficult to plan a little in advance? He tells me that it is a man thing, always leaving gift buying to the last minute, which is probably true, but after all these years, he maybe should have learnt that that just causes stress, and also takes the edge off the day for me.
It is the thought that counts, but nevertheless actions speak louder than words
