Hippo Bathday to me

My birthday has just crept up on me this year. Normally it is something I look forward to from January onwards, but I just realised yesterday that it is today. (Obviously, I had given some thought to celebrations etc, but hadn't had that excited butterflies feeling that I used to get).

I figure that this is because in many previous years, I have not been particularly happy with what I am doing and needed the focus of a happy day to concentrate on getting to. This year, however, I am really happy and so today is not going to be very different from normal days, except with the addition of a night out at the pub.

Oh... and the massive pile of presents that awaited me this morning! Let's just say that there may be some book reviews coming up in the near future.

Anyway, I have essays to write so I must carry on with that. Deadlines take no notice of birthdays and my grand plan to finish them before today has failed, in as much as I haven't really started them. I have a nice soundtrack to work to: my sister has provided a mix-cd called Folk Off! Songs for [Farli] which are really quite cutting edge... ...well some of them.

Hope you all have as nice a day as I am having.
