Thank You !!

It was a rather nice birthday this year. D went to work and I spent the day taking calls and answering online messages. In the evening G and S realized I was spending the day all by myself with D being stuck at work till midnight at least and came over with a lovely cake. It was, as you see, a yummy Black Forest.

Cut it a tiny bit for the guys and then when they left I was chopping up vegetables for dinner when the bell rang and I opened the door to see D standing there, grinning, with lovely roses and a chocolate. Quite a surprise, but worked out fine because his boss thought his priority for the day should be me and not the all-important work he had to finish.

So we finished all the chocolate, got ready and went for a spin around the beach. Got back from there, went to a nice new restaurant here called Urban Dhaba where we had some lovely scotch to end the day. I am all puritanical about scotch and don’t believe in using any soda with it, but I wanted to be ok for the booze already at home so I mixed the teensiest bit of soda, and I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing it was. Had dinner with some hard roti and Gosht Rara, which is basically mutton cooked in a lot of onion, and I think yogurt. It was rather ok I think.

But all said and done, I have been thinking of saying a very personal thank you to all the people who remembered and who took time out to wish me. Being on social networking sites is a good thing you know, because of the sheer number of birthday wishes you get. I am going to name all the people here, so see if you can find your name.
