The marking of calendar events is a developing interest of mine. As yet this celebratory side does not extend much beyond my very immediate family; I still have much work ahead convincing the oldest member of the flock that birthdays and holidays are to be embraced with gusto.
This year the original celebratory idea of extreme sport at Xscape, quickly turned into an exercise in extreme eating. What with birthday meals, birthday breakfasts (complete with chips!?) birthday cake and coffee, birthday Cava and more birthday food. As a result we managed to indulge in the extreme sports of breath holding, wind dodging and duvet flapping; providing more than enough adrenaline for pair of us.
My insight into what makes a good celebration for my husband is finally paying dividends, and having effect on how he sees important family and calendar events. After watching him ceremoniously 'Open' the homemade compost bin, with the ritualistic tossing of peelings and teabags accompanied with a little faux speech, I can't help but feel a little proud.
Happy Easter

You are completely and utterly mad sis but I need to take note from your lighter take on life. I might have lost weight this year but my Brain is always far too heavy.
ReplyDeleteI used to be good at the whole birthday card thing but somehow it is gone by the wayside.
