Well, to begin, I inaugurated myself to being a year older by slippig and falling on my way out of the bathroom, don’t worry, no broken hips.
I found encouragement notes taped on the wall by the head of my bed and birthday notes taped all around the house.
The temp on my birthday was a wearisome 115 degrees with 100% humidity which zaps energy as you sit still. And sit still is what I did-to watch Home Alone, have some French Toast made by Michelle, then watched Miracle on 34th Street. I needed all the snow I could get!
After that I had another aged moment of succumbing to the heat for an hour’s nap. After that it was time to move.
We went to Costa Coffee, we being Matt Peters, Michelle, Angie, Patrice, and I, where I furnished us with dessert. India’s sweets are not too sweet so I opted for the delectable chocolate muffin complete with huge gooey chocolate chunks and a scoop of vanilla.
Then it was back to the rickshaws for a trip to Fire ‘N’ Ice for some Indian food. I had Yellow Curry chicken, garlic cheese Naan, and yoghurt veggie sauce. To drink I had a White Fizz which was kinda’ like a juicy virgin daquiri-very tasty. And it came complete with 2 umbrellas!
Later Patrice busted out my favorite indulgence called Appy Fizz, basdically sparkling apple juice, and the waitstaff provided wine glasses for a sparkling toast to yours truly.
Then Michelle surprised me with MORE dessert and they sang “Happy Birthday” to me as I basked in the glow of a #1 candle-2 and 6 weren’t avaliable.
Our home was still as hot as ever which was impacted by us losing electricity, which happens quite frequently. So we gathered on the roof to catch a passing breeze.
On my way to bed I was lovingly doused, as was the whole wall behind me, with a large bowl of water from Eli-just wait, Eli, and watch your back!
All in all, I have Never been so hot on my birthday! But none-the-less it was an awesome day!
