Happy birthday to me!

 

2 years ago my wee sister sent me this birthday card.  It caused great hilarity as I wasn't actually 58 then.  She'd ordered it without wearing her specs!! 👓

I am now 58 today!! 🎂

53

It was my birthday on Friday.  I'm 53.  I don't feel 53 and I don't think I look 53 (or maybe I do to other people!)  Although the kids in my class believed me when I said I was 28!! 😆 OH treated me to a cinema trip on Friday night to see Fisherman's Friends.  Fab wee film!  Last night I had a Mexican night with my eldest son, 2 of his friends, youngest son and his girlfriend, OH and The Teenogre.  It was a fun evening.  We had fajitas and I put all the fixings in the middle of the table and everyone made their own.  My head's a wee bit sore this morning!  But I've enjoyed my birthday weekend so far.

I took this pic on my birthday. I quite like it (rare!!)  It's what I think I look like to other people, if that makes sense.  I share a birthday with a colleague.  She was 55 and looks about 45.  She is retiring on Friday after 34 years of continuous service and I'm soooooo jealous (teachers can claim their teacher pensions at 55 here)  She's never had a break (not having kids of her own) so her retirement is well deserved.  When she leaves I'm the longest serving teacher on staff 😮

The weather here can't make up it's mind.  One night this week was still 13 degrees C at 9pm and then we had frost another morning.  It's been stormy, windy, rainy and brilliant sunshine.  Sometimes all in the same day!  No matter the weather the girls love their bowl of porridge n the morning.  Sometimes MarmaLady actually gets into the bowl and fluffs out her feathers to stop the others getting any!!

Just one more week of school then it's a 2 week break.  Cannot wait!!
