Today was my eldest daughter’s twelfth birthday. She’s an amazing young woman!
I woke around 5 am and couldn’t go back to sleep. I went downstairs and lay on the sofa for a bit, then got up and did some final present wrapping. Pia got up shortly afterwards and whipped up a batch of pancakes as a surprise birthday breakfast. After breakfast and present unwrapping, the girls got off to school.
I was feeling a bit sick and went to lie down, spending most of the morning in bed. I managed to get up and do a few bits and pieces after that, but I was feeling pretty exhausted and a bit headachy until late afternoon.
However, Pia and I managed to transform our daughter’s bedroom into a little boudoir cinema, as she was bringing some friends home after school for some birthday celebrations and a film. We borrowed a video projector from some friends and set it up to project onto a wall of her room, turning it into a nice big screen, and I hooked up a loudspeaker. It all went down pretty well!
I perked up a little in the evening.
