Happy Birthday to me

Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday dear me
Happy Birthday to me

Well, yes, it is particularly sad wishing yourself a happy birthday, but. believe me, not as sad as passing your 34th Birthday in the company of a throat infection and one card. Yes, that was ONE card. From my boyfriend. Who lives with me. Who is hardly in a position to forget.


There are many challenging things about living abroad but being forgotten by your family for the third year in a row rates pretty highly. I feel about as popular as a fart on a camping trip.
