Yesterday was my birthday. This is not significant in any way other than the fact that it gets me lots of phone calls from my kids. They all rang, one after another. (And sent flowers and chocolates and parcels, bless them.)

I spoke to the boy and emailed him a photo of the flowers he (and his lady) sent. I spoke to my girl in far off places and caught up on all her news. I chattered with my baby (and her BIL) and had a good laugh. Then T rang.

She had a gift for me. But I can't have it until May next years.

Why?

Because it takes 42 weeks to bake and it's only been in the oven for six.

I really really want to share my news but it's a secret so you have to promise not to tell.

Oh, bugger it, I'm going to tell anyway.

I'm going to be a Nona!!

Yes, somewhere around the middle of May I will get to cuddle my very first grandbaby.

I am so excited I could bloody burst.
