It’s Beth’s birthday tomorrow. A third of the way to eighteen!

We have a birthday party for her and her friends at lunchtime tomorrow; those who follow the golf will know that St Andrews has been rather wet and windy this week, so I doubt that the children will be able to play outside.

I’m planning lots of games for them to play — I’ve just wrapped the pass-the-parcel. Kate is organising the party food. Cake!

Kate gave me a new hat for my birthday. I’ve been wearing it with appreciation ever since.

My previous favourite hat was a panama hat that I bought in Annapolis in 2001, but it is beginning to fall apart at the front of the crown, so it was time for a replacement.

Nearly time to hand the boat back and head south to St Andrews.

It is [info - personal] kateaw’s birthday on Sunday 25th. To celebrate we’re planning to have lunch out at Pizza Express in St Andrews at 1pm, and then tea and cake at home at about 4.30pm.

All who know Kate are welcome to join us; please let me know if you’d like to come to lunch, tea, or both.

One advantage of working from home is that I've just had the privilege of scraping out a bowl of cake mixture. My considered opinion is that cake mixture is even nicer than cake.

Beth and [info - personal] kateaw are busy making a Dalek cake for Beth's fifth birthday tomorrow. It will be pink. Beth likes pink Dalek cakes.

Here is a piccie of her cake from a couple of years ago. If all goes well, tomorrow I'll post a photo of this year's creation.

Beth’s Dalek cake!

Two dates for your diaries:

BBQ on Saturday 20 June — We’ll be braving the weather to have our next BBQ of the season on Saturday, from 1pm, at 29 Brewster Place, St Andrews. Last time the rain held off, although the wind was a little gusty. What will it throw at us this time? As usual, we’ll provide some soft drinks, salads, bread, cheese and some veggie burgers or sausages. If you want something more exciting to drink, or you like a bit of meat, bring it with you.

Birthday tea on Sunday 28 June — At 3pm we’ll be having afternoon tea up at the Fairmont St Andrews, to celebrate my birthday (which is the following day). Join us for sandwiches, scones, cakes and tarts. Oh, and the odd cup of tea. Be prepared to pay about £14 each, and it is worth every penny.

For either of the above, let me know if you’d like to come. All welcome.
