The day we've all been waiting for! The media have gathered for days and finally can report on the news they've all been anticipating: I am 33.
I've had a lovely day. It started with watching the Tour de France from yesterday (because Karen made me a wonderful paleo dinner. More on that to come!) then I had lunch (a panini, since you asked), then I saw the bestest little people in the world! Now, I'm enjoying a summer night with a fire pit. Good times!
And of course, the actual big news today was the future king was born! I love a national event and so was excited when I woke up this morning to the alert on my phone (which have just started on my phone and I haven't worked out how to turn them off).
I was excited, not because Kate was in labour, but because Kate was in labour and the future monarch could be born on my birthday! A birthday future of national events!!
Just as I was leaving on the drive back down this end of the country the news came through. What was I actually doing at 4.24pm, when the third in line to the throne was born? Sitting, sweating in a roasting town hall watching a kids' production of Peter Pan.
Following the leader. Indeed.

The awkward silence
It didn't start out awkward but it definitely is now. I didn't mean not to blog in 2013, it just sort of turned out like that. And once you don't blog, the stories build up and then it becomes more awkward because you have too many stories to tell you don't know where to begin.
I've been asked by, literally units of people when I'm going to blog again. Ruth even asked me when I was going to delete my blog. I'm surprised she asked me that though because she lived through Lost in Space and knows I throw nothing away and the collection of stories, photos and recollections this blog brings up for me is far too valuable to throw away just out of embarrassment at not having blogged for seven months. I mean really, what's seven months between friends, eh?
At some point though, you just have to take the bull by the horns or the blog post by the keyboard and put something down. So here it is. My first blog post to break the awkward silence. So how have you been keeping...?
