Today we will celebrating my Mum's 89th birthday. As she nearly died last year, Mum and Dad decided to celebrate her birthday with the whole family this year, rather than wait for next year. (She doesn't want to miss anything, if she kicks the bucket before she is 90, apparently!) They don't enjoy parties. So there will be 12 of us going out for a meal at lunchtime, then coming back here for tea. Both my niece and nephew, with their partner/wife, my BIL, all of whom I haven't seen for ages, along with my DD and family will be here. Only my son and family couldn't be here.
