It was my birthday yesterday :)

So I treated myself to a day out.

On my travels, I came across a scene with a dead body, with the police holding up traffic just off Piccadilly Circus for a few hours, a dead pigeon with wings "flapped" by moving traffic and tons of gore,

and to top it all, when gazing at a train timetable, tried to not stare at the person being revived by medical personnel under the timetable signs, desperately torn between getting the information I needed to catch the train, and not to be perceived as rubbernecking some poor unfortunate's catastrophe.

I did succeed in not actually rubbernecking, and have no idea if they were male, female, young or old, but have to confess to giving up getting the information from the sign when so distracted by my feelings that I simply took a blind stab in the dark (and slightly educated guess based on past experience) as to which platform I needed! Lol.

They say bad luck comes in threes and you saw 3 lots of it yesterday. Lets hope the rest of your birthday year will run smoothly. Hope you enjoyed your special day. How did you end up celebrating it?

j.e.j.

Cripes, I know London's not exactly stress-free, but it's not usually that bad :eek:

Hope the rest of your day went ok, anyway

Thank you for the good wishes.

There were assorted good bits. I went to a restaurant where there's normally a bit of entertainment (Wong Kei in Chinatown) and it didn't fail to amuse,

was pleasantly surprised by a nice shopkeeper giving me an extra item for free (my friend was right, those boots do things for me. Lol),

and then was absently gazing at a bracelet that caught my eye, but came down to a earth with a jolt when I read the label saying "Art Deco, Tiffany's, ... £22,000) Lol.

Happy birthday everyone, it was mine last week and not half so eventful (bought a take away Thai meal for 1)

Unfortunately, that's now a dream too. I turned 41 yesterday. :rotfl:

Funny, I didn't mind turning 40, but to me, 41 seems to be an age where I should be really grown up and have everything sorted!

BTW Happy Birthday To Be to Clare, and Happy Belated Birthday to Spirit!

Turning 41 isn't the end of the world...at least you weren't the Picadilly person or the pigeon!
