It's my birthday today! I'm 55 years young!
I got some large box canvases, a watercolour travel set and a watercolour pad from my brother. They also got me a birthday card. My Mum got me a decorative wooden box, exactly the same as one that I've already got. You can paint them and decorate them yourself. She also got me a craft kit. All these things came from The Works. I also got a birthday card from my Mum with £100 in cash in it. And I got 2 other birthday cards from other people.
When I went onto Twitter (X) I got greeted by some balloons going up to celebrate my birthday! (See picture above.) I like it when that happens!
I've just had my lunch, udon noodles with carrots and celery. I've also had some non-alcoholic shloer wine aswell for my birthday. We will have some more of it tonight to use it up. I'm going to have a vegan cupcake in a minute as a birthday cake! I
We're going to the big Tesco again as usual this afternoon. Maybe I can find some more treats for my birthday there.
We're going out on Friday down town for my birthday meal in the Jungle Street Kitchen cafe. I may have told you this already. I've already decided whst I'm having. Salmon Catch and Rainbow Salad with Jasmine green tea. And if I'm not too full I'll have vegan ice cream for desert!
And I've got to get my painting back from Martin the frame man on the market.
What special things do you like to do when it is your birthday?
I hope you are all well.
Have a nice day. ![](/Content/images/emotes/niceday.gif)

Happy Birthday, Sharon! When my husband and I have our birthdays, we celebrate all month long. We will usually go out to eat once and then have pizza and then Chinese at home on two other nights. Have a great day!!!

@sharonelton Does your mum feel old having a daughter your age? I prefer not to celebrate mine (or anything at all really) but my wife takes the opposite view and she wins.

My Mum will be 79 on 3 August! Yes, I guess she feels old!
Why don't you like celebrating your birthday? I'm glad your wife wins! ![](/Content/images/emotes/lol.gif)

Yes, I did.
Thank you very much.
Yes, it was crazy in Tesco with neither of the lifts working, but it was an adventure!
I hope you are well.
