124. Birthday Season

With some notable exceptions, the birthdays of all my favourite people occur between the 14th of October and the 21st of November. It's a happy, festive, EXPENSIVE six weeks.

(The notable exceptions are: the 10th of May, the 20th of May, the 22nd of June, the 14th of July, the 21st of July, the 23rd of September and the 12th of December)

Birthday Season is a little different this year as we wait for the birth of BabyBF, but the best news is that he or she will be a Scorpio, born within the Birthday Season, and therefore adding a whole new lovely day of celebration.

There are those who believe that celebrating birthdays is deeply childish. There are those who simply don't acknowledge their birthdays. Some don't like them, and find them difficult. I strongly disagree with the first, respect and rather admire the second, and sympathize with the last. I used to love my birthday, and now it makes me cry. I think it's because I"m so OLD and have, as yet, achieved SO LITTLE. But that may all be about to change...

Anyway, Birthday Season is a cheerful time in a part of the year that can seem dreary and dull. It gives me a chance to give people squeezes, presents and glasses of champagne - and really, what could be nicer?
