happy 65th mum

It's mum's 65th birthday today. I bought her and dad (it was his 65th back in March and I had so far failed to get him anything) tickets for the Gala performance of Falstaff by the Welsh National Opera. "Gala" simply means more expensive.....so I hope they enjoy it. The ridiculous thing is that all (4) regular performances were already sold out - and this is March 2008!! Anyway, I hope they enjoy it - it's got Bryn Terfel in it - and it's on St David's Day (1st March - my birthday) - so it should be a good occassion to be in Wales for.....

This evening we went out for a meal at Palmerston's in Morningside with Jo & Andy. Fi babysat. It was fantastic to get out and have a sensible conversation without kids. This is what life used to be like....
