My actual birthday was on the 10th it's now the 12th and I had lots of lovely messages from friends and family all across the world. Opened my gifts whilst Zooming with family back in Keele Road. And also had a nice long phone call with cousin Oli and uncle Harold. Harold is doing pretty well all things considered.
Latter had a birthday dinner around at Emily's with Emily and Renee whilst we watched funny documentries. And while I opened my gifts from them
On the 11th I had a Zoom picnic with Mandy and Sam, which was a great deal of funny they where together and I was there via Zoom and we spent time together in a park.
Latter on had another celebration with Emily and Renee and Matt (Remotely).
So all in all my birthday was a great deal of fun, amazingly so given all that is going on in the world. Not sure I'm going to talk about that given the continuing disasters of Trump, Covid-19, and Brexit. I haven't been able to go back home to Stoke in months and even though I Zoom home every day it isn't the same.
On an entirely different note, I think I have decided or at least all but decided to undertake a PhD, which given how the last one went is pretty amazing. (But I'm not going to do anything hasty-well I never do, do I).
Panda is still bring me joy. Albeit that he is at times a very naughty cat.
I continue to do my study with Tina and with Francesca. So not much has change really. Largely thanks to Covid.
