birthday celebrations

For my birthday Elspeth wrote the sweetest post on her livejournal. Here's the link so that everyone can see it! Click HERE

And last night my staff went out for dinner. We were celebrating our results from last year but it turned into a bit of a birthday party. They had the restaurant staff (and the REALLY noisy table beside us) singing happy birthday to 'Rola-san'. It was hilarious.  

Soon I'm off to Elspeth's. We're going to spend today playing DDR and taiko and tomorrow we're going to Okazaki to use her homestay parents' oven to bake a real cake! 

Thanks everyone for all of the birthday emails!
