Yes, there was no Matriarch yesterday. After finally starting back, I didn't share one yesterday.
Why?
I was too busy being blessed and loved by my family. It was my birthday on Sunday, but in our house when you have a Sunday birthday, you celebrate on a Monday. The Lord's Day is the Lord's day, and Robert likes to do lots of lovely birthday things for me which he hasn't got the time to do on a Sunday.
A lie in.
Breakfast in bed.
Pressies.
(boooooooooooooooks, I got booooooooooooooooooooks!!! And notebooks. And Cath Kidston things. And nice smelly things. And jewellery. And mini eggs. And Creme Eggs. )
Cards. Including a lot with cupcakes and baked things on them (should I take it as people knowing I like to *MAKE* them, or I like to *EAT* them?!?). And, one all the way from America! Joy!
Cake.
(ok, the cake I made myself, for my lovely sister-in-love Anna, and which I forgot to give her to take home on Sunday, so I had some yesterday...and today... *coughs loudly* )
Very little housework.
Dinner out.
A chilled evening with my husband.
It all adds up to a super-duper day.
If only one could have a day like that every week, but alas my birthday happens but once a year!
Oh, and if only we could have illness keep away for more than a matter of days, that would also be good. I am ill with a virus, again. More rash, aches and general lousiness.
Blah.
I just wanted to let you all know that I had not fallen off the edge of the planet, and plan to return with more thoughts in the days ahead.
The End.
Oh, no, not the end.
I will end with a picture of cake.
yum

Well, I wouldn't post either if I was having that much fun and pampering. :) Happy Birthday.
