Drum Roll ~~~
And today’s big birthday wishes goes to Gilly Bean! Happy birthday babes! Bean is like the little sister I never had. I have known her for many many years and we have lived and experienced so much together. She has been an incredible friend, drinking buddy, flatmate, paragliding partner, shoulder to cry on and helping hand. That’s where I come along. I must be single handidly the crappiest mate / pseudo-older-brother on earth! I thought today was her birthday but in fact it was yesterday! DOH!! How bad is THAT? In my defense however, she does celebrate her birthday week to the entirety! The average Bean Birthday Week will see no fewer than 8 functions/parties/get togethers. And thats my “get out of jail free” card. It will normally include traditions such as “Chicken Wing Night” in the Maple Leaf pub in Covent Garden, London aka “paying homage to the chicken gods”, a fancy dinner in a fancy restaurant, an all fall down pissup or a pub crawl, some calm relaxing dinners and a few more drinks. Its hectic! Who could possibly keep up! However a little birdy told me that she isn’t coping as well as she used to. The age catching up on you darling?
My saving grace I think however was having KT attending all the functions in my place (she’s very good like that – never shy about a party or two) and phoning her last night and being able to wish Bean happy birthday! Bean I love you like crazy. Enjoy what’s left of your incredible week. Hopefully I will celebrate it in person again sometime! You will have to plan it around my work rotational cycles ok!
