Birthdays

We are not among ones who take birthdays as a day to be grandly celebrated, remembered or fussed about. So though we remember each other's  birth date in the family we never went bigger than a low-keyed dinner someplace near where we live. I can't remember having my name written on a cake! Did not put my birth date on FB either to escape all the familiar greetings on social network. But our IC numbers gave the game away so for the first time this year I got a cake with candles and my name on it. It was presented in a restaurant we frequent with the gang and as on several previous occassions it was the usual cycling gang who brought the cake as a surprise. Anyway birthdays are a good reminder of moving times and it is good to be among friends.
