Birthday

Odette:
Tuesday 17 November

It is my birthday today and I woke up feeling amazing and noticed a sparkle in my eyes before I even realised the day.  I asked Laurinda to take photos, hoping they would catch the moment but I guess once you hit 50, it takes a little more than a smile to look good!  Perhaps later we will glam up a bit and try again.
My morning therapies are over, waiting for a Doctors visit and then 3 free hours before afternoon rounds.

2 more full days and we head for home!!
I miss my Roo, I miss my pussies and I miss my Princess bed.  I miss Blisters night and I miss Facebook and my Fairyland friends and garden.

I do NOT miss the heatwave that Jarrod has informed us is waiting for us at home.  Yesterday our temperature in China was -5 low and 4 tops.  Of course it is the wind chill factor that you have to be prepared for, so we stick our arm out the window as far as it can reach to test it before we head outside all rugged up in our hats, jackets, scarves and my pièce de résistance....my Emma Peel gloves!  No doubt they will go in the dress up bag at home, but I'm enjoying the opportunity to wear them here.

More therapy and then a huge, beautiful birthday cake arrived.  We gathered round the communal area to share it with everyone.  Now we must wait an extra hour before leaving for my birthday dinner at the Holiday Inn so we can fit it in.
