To my great surprise and enormous relief, I had a lovely birthday. Must've got rid of the depression over the last week.

The weather was glorious, 25-26C (77-79F), fine and sunny for the first time in a couple of days. Had a phone call from my adopted grandparents, a surprise gift from a dear friend, a nice walk with my sister, and just generally played around on the computer and relaxed.
And the wonderful messages and love from my friends lifted me through the day. Thank you all.
I got the cutest cards from my family, started the day with a smile:

Yummy dinner (Chicken ala Bromley - family recipe of chicken pieces, mushroom, carrot, onion, celery, chicken soup stock - all cooked together and served with noodles) and chocolate cake, and then watched The Hours.

I feel content.

Interesting

In the last few days on the radio they'd been mentioning a new Diana Krall cd, The Girl in the Other Room.
Was down the shops this morning, and thought I'd check in Angel Music, they're usually the first to get anything in (they imported Sarah McLachlan's latest, so I was able to get it months before it was released here). Asked the bloke whether they had it and he said they did, but he couldn't sell it to me because it's embargoed till Monday. But he brought it out to show me and said it's really fabulous.
Just checking on Amazon, they've got the release date as 27 April.
Interesting...we also got the latest Norah Jones released about 2 days earlier than the US.
Is it because of sales, they're particularly popular over here?
