Birthday Blues (by sarah)
I wasn't going to do anything for my Birthday but Al wanted to do me a meal and so Fondue was settled upon and then we invited Barbara and I thought it would be nice if I could have a friend there. So I texted my friend Andrew who lives in Cheltenham on the off chance he'd be about as he tends to go home to Essex at the weekend.
He didn't respond which was fair enough as it was short notice but the thing is I almost texted Alex I had some how forgotten. I've been so busy the last few months and then I felt bad and cried.
Jean and Al spent most of the day at one of Jeans little friends parties and so I spent the afternoon photographing boots:/
Barbara then forgot that it was my birthday and thought Jean was being silly when she said it was mummy's birthday. She then disappeared just after cake (taking the cake with her) to watch TV.
Al had got me lots of yummy things for a chocolate fondue and I thought Yay! But he doesn't eat chocolate and I discovered that chocolate fondue isn't that much fun unless your sharing it.
I then realised that I've been here for three birthdays and I know know one my age, Andrew is planing to move away and Alex is gone. I've made friends but there not the same age as me and though it may seem mean I need people who are the same age as me - people who have the same type of worries and the like.
I'm sure were I've gone wrong.
Sorry I will do a nicer post about my birthday tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Sarah!
Other People (especially ones as leathery as Barbara) can be a bit brusque sometimes i think... I've been following and read the other article about Alex and how you almost called him to invite up for your birthday... Just remember that it wasn't really him in that box that got buried, it was only his poor body being returned to the earth he loved to study! His soul is somewhere else now, and it's probably nicer than this miserable old place 🙂 Why didn't you invite me down for your birthday! i'm (sort of!) your age! and i haven't seen all you three for ages
Don't worry you've not gone wrong...

I didn't invite people from far away as it wasn't supposed to be a party or anything and its Als 30th this year and I wanted people to have enough money to come along to that instead. Plus it was only organised the day before so there wouldn't have been enough time.
And I thought you were still in India!
Sorry to be moping again.
