Social Whirl

Well, well, well, aren't I the social butterfly? Not only did I go out for pizza on Saturday and ice-cream on Sunday but I followed that up with more pizza and beer to celebrate a colleague's birthday on Monday.

The school has a lovely tradition of celebrating everyone's birthday with cake, so bang goes proper food at teatime and in comes cake! Wonderful cake, want to stroke it cake, eat it and then have some more cake - all paid for by the school. The lovely thing is that if your birthday is during the holiday, you are given a fake one during term time (somewhat like the Queen).

The only downside to this tradition is that someone has to make the birthday card which means you are supposed to find out about the person and handcraft a card which reflects their personality, likes, dislikes etc. I've done my duty for the year (and poorly so unfortunately - well, you try making a birthday card for someone you've only spoken to a couple of times and know nothng about) and now I only have to worry about what will be done for me - but that's not until October so what the heck!
