Today is Cat’s birthday, and like Ally did a month ago, she has spent her second birthday in lockdown. I keep assuming that only people with Spring birthdays will have two lockdown birthdays, and that by the Summer life will be back to normal due to the vaccination programme and the warmer weather, and I hope that I’m right. But India is having a big new wave of Covid right now and the virus is so unpredictable. Who really knows what will happen with it next?
Cat opened her presents at lunchtime and was delighted that Ally had surprised her with an amazing multi-cooker. She is a great cook and is looking forward to trying it out. Both Cat and Ally were working today so the birthday celebrations didn’t get properly started until Gerry and Christine arrived at about five o’clock and we all sat in the garden chatting in the sunshine. James lit the fire pit which was warming and only a little bit smoky. We ordered a Chinese meal and had a convivial evening. Christine had made a delicious chocolate cake to a family recipe and we all sang Happy Birthday and Cat blew out the candles. It was a really good evening.
