It's been nice, thanks Lynn. I enjoy everyone else's birthdays but have never liked my own, so I've kept it really low-key and being a coeliac I don't eat out, so pizza in front of the tv has been really relaxed and nice.
The next birthday is my son's 18th in 6 weeks so I'm already planning that one.

Goodness no!!!
Proper books with proper pages to turn. The beauty of holding a book and flicking the pages, the smell of a brand new book, using a bookmark......books are my vice. We have LOTS of bookcases and bookshelves at home. I love just looking at them!
My birthday was a milestone one but I don't get why a birthday is any more special just because there's a zero on the end and I insisted on not having any ridiculous celebrations or fuss and the presents I mainly received were books! Hubby bought me a beautiful silver tortoise ornament and I had a few Willow Tree figures but otherwise my gifts from my immediate family were books and a close friend who lives in Australia sent me an Amazon parcel full of glorious books as a surprise.

I read Clarissa by Samuel Richardson eight years ago and I believe it's the longest book in English literature. It took a while as it was the complete and unabridged version but I adore the story so much. Robert Lovelace is one of my favourite literary villains.
I think War and Peace finally got a bit of oomph in this last episode with the silly girl falling for Anatole.
I think you should read it, CB. It could be your summer reading project in your gorgeous garden.
