Birthdayness!

Hooray for birthdays!  Turning 25 was a much quieter affair than my usual "style" but I have gathered some good advice for future celebrations.....

...do meet a new person on the eve of your birthday.
...don't rely on said new person to be a reliable driver.
...do share the day with lovely people.
...don't make eye contact with street sellers...EVER.
...do stay in your pyjama's for the entire morning.
...don't rely on the post to deliver cards on time.
...do use Skype effectively to talk to family members.
...don't expect the family to be sitting in a sensible place to Skype, i.e. the lounge or kitchen.
...do save all the surprise birthday euro's from your friends and family for a treat.
...don't presume music shops will be open on Monday's, thus delaying the purchase of above treat.
...do relax on the beach.
...don't get your Mum to put sunblock on your back, she could miss a bit.
...do go for a swim in the sea.
...don't look too closely at the Italian Grandma's in bikini's.
...do order something you've never heard of at an Italian restaurant, it can be good!
...don't waste an hour trying to get a drink somewhere, just go home and drink the drinks you already have.
...do look forward to the next birthday.
