Date
Birthday celebrations are one of those events being axed in number of invitees due to covid restriction. Somehow there should be a way to make your day very special with the presence of loved ones. I dressed up for the occasion; jumped on the train, and on foot to the main venue, I went. The sky was threatening and looking depressed. I normally don't go out on this kind of weather, but words were assured when I accepted the invite. Lucky, it wasn't that chilly. When I arrived at Broadway, I stopped by a florist and grabbed a nicely packed flower arrangement of pink Waratahs and pastel Roses with a conglomerate of cute colourful sprays. I had the card ready to hand in to the celebrant. I'm not very good at gift buying so money was more convenient for me to give.
My friends were there already few minutes ahead of me. They're sitting down on someone's round kitchen table (wink); the engaged couple and the fiance's mother. We all came from different directions outside the city. The original plan was to dine in a restaurant, go for a leisurely stroll, have coffee and more catching-up. The unpredictable weather didn't augur well. Of course I was introduced to Lara, Matt's mother who looks very young and attractive. I found her very friendly too. I'm kind of the fiancee's adopted mother. We all settled in for a Japanese cuisine with healthy options to be had. I ordered a nice warm soupy Ramen! I shun the dessert. The remainder of my day was spent at home after we parted. The big rain came tumbling down the moment I got home. Call that "Showers of Blessing" for the birthday girl. Happy 29th Birthday Irene. Wish you many happy returns of the day!
