My birthday was a grand success, after what appeared to be a sad start. I spent the afternoon eating sweets, surfing on youtube and talking to a friend of mine for more than three hours, which helped me through my sadness. After a refreshing shower, I headed down to my friends' house, where they gave me a glass of delicious wine (which didn't taste like wine at all) and another friend gave me my first birthday card! After a short chat, we went off to Bingo and the awesome part of the evening started. The guy behind the register was lovely and funny and hilarious and incidentally also the caller of the numbers, which led to him (and the rest of the bingo hall) singing "Happy Birthday" to me halfway through the evening. Redness and laughing fits were all-present. We didn't win, but the thrill of stamping your way through the numbers and always be so near to winning was exhiliarating and we had a laugh and just a generally amazing time. After, we went for some cocktails at my favorite cocktailbar (Font!), where I had my first Cosmopolitan (sooo good!).
When I came home after what I thought was the perfect birthday, I found yet another surprise: my lovely housemate Brenda had hung balloons on my door and bought me a huge chocolate cake and a bottle of wine! It was the perfect ending to a perfect night and has lead to yet another birthday celebration tonight, a picnic in the park with cake and wine with a group of friends. This is the life!
