Today marks the fortieth anniversary of my arrival on planet Earth. I have had a wonderful weekend celebrating.
Early on Saturday morning, Thomas arrived safely from Cairo and he will be here for two weeks. I left him resting and I went off for a meeting with the school founder. There is no real news about the school's future at the moment we are still waiting on the outcome of a court case, and things do seem to move slowly!
After collecting Thomas we headed of to Clippers for a couple of hours of relaxation and beautifying. Then we called in on Kathy to finalise arrangements for the evening's festivities.
Kathy and Zulfi had very kindly agreed to hosting a dinner in my honour, with Zulfi creating all the food. To say that Zulfi is a good cook is something of an understatement!! So later that evening 12 of us gathered at their house and enjoyed a delicious array of dishes, with cake provided by Pie in the Sky.
My actual birthday was spent very quietly. After church, Thomas and I retired to the apartment and just enjoyed each others company. We ate very little as we were still stuffed from the day before, but we did enjoy a game of Super Scrabble, with all the honours going to the birthday boy!
We toasted the event with some Lindsfarne Mead, which I had bought on my birthday trip with Meg, just before I left the UK. All in all a very enjoyable and relaxing day.
Life begins at Forty or so the saying goes, so I say, let it begin...
