Birthday Remembered

I am someone who likes to remember and celebrate birthdays and anniversaries which is fortunate as there are plenty of them in our family. There have always been two this week, that is until recently. However with today’s Main Man no longer with us, I’m not prepared to let the occasion go unnoticed and so Porty daughter and I are going to drink a toast to His Lordship as we have a celebratory meal out in his honour tonight.
He was a big fan of his own birthdays that ended in 0 or a 5, so this one wouldn’t have ranked as being particularly important to him other than it being better than what was dished up as the alternative.

Apparently there was a blood red dawn this morning, but it’s set to be a dreadful day of rain and wind. The rain has arrived but not the wind yet. I am going to stay put in the house and try to read some more of Wolf Hall, trying not to comfort eat so that I give that Soderberg pizza tonight some welly!
