It is my birthday today. See what my beloved was up at 5.30 this morning making for me:

We had birthday cake – with singing and candles – after breakfast. A first for me, but there is always room for new tricks, even when you're getting old(er).

It's orange cake, by the way. It was so yummy, and it was still warm and fresh. And Jacob (my older son) arranged the candles – not bad for seven!

I've been having a great day, so far – despite being busy at work. Thank you, Shelley, thank you, kids. You made my day.
