Tried to let the event slide past unnoticed this year, but all sorts of websites and forums "conspired" to remind me with a barrage of "Happy Birthday" spam. Alright, maybe spam is a bit strong of a word, but at my age, being reminded at all is always unsolicited! Worse yet, with so many websites being personalized for the user these days, everywhere I go, I keep being told how damn old I am. They all clicked over and added on another year automatically and I'd rather they didn't, thank you. This is a novelty that probably wears off by the time one reaches 13 1/2. So, what could I do to commiserate with myself? ...
Oh yes, I know, food! I like food and, being a lazy bitch, settled for a restaurant that I can see from the house, the recently renamed (last year) the
Asadero Los Pedregales. This also gave me a chance to take a nice little stroll across the valley and see the pretty spring flowers coming up and all the blossoms on the trees. Actually, that did cheer me up no end, because I distinctly remember many occasions in the UK when I had tried to have birthday parties in early March, only to have people cancelling right and left because they couldn't drive through the snow. Here it's been warm enough that I've broken a sweat a couple of times.
