Birthday Party

Birthday Party The day began to find a place for lunch which was difficult most roads were closed due to a cycling tournament We got out of this mess and ended up in the streets where the rich lived. My wife was enthralled by the beautiful gardens in the district I nodded but was not impressed, preferring real nature. Finally, we stopped at a small inn, that was ever so posh, just in time I was getting grumpy due to low blood sugar. The meal was expensive but plentiful, and we took the rest home for a feast when I would not need to drive and enjoy a glass of wine. At home, I saw on Facebook, many had sent me gratulations which is gratifying, and I love my absent friends. Those who didn´t send, greeting especially the English, I forgive they do not like to show a display of affection. The English are this way, is it was a good thing they left the EU, are a people of great pride and still hankers for the days when Great Britain was an Imperial power. No, there was not a great party just my wife and me, that is ok we are bound together by an emotional seal of loneliness.
