Aw, thanks guys.
It's been a really nice day and the sun shone on the righteous

.
How clever of you to make those muffins, muffinmonster - I'm most impressed!
TDM - thank you for the birthday cake. Of COURSE it's the right number!!
Bag not only forced chocolate cake down my throat but she also gave me balloons, ear-rings, a scarf and a fabby docking station for my iPhone

. Sadly she is right that she will always be younger than me...I was all set to be an only child until the age of eight and a half...
Btw, Bag, TDM and I all went to the same school! And I spent a very pleasant hour going round it this afternoon (hoping to organise a course for conductors and singers there next year...).
