Jamie’s Birthday Treat…

Jamie’s Grandmother, Aunt, Mother and I went up to see him for his birthday recently as we had suggested if we came over we could take him out and spend money on him. He graciously agreed to our visit, though he was a little under the weather from the previous night’s celebrations (just a quiet one with a few friends you understand). We brought a homemade chocolate hedgehog cake, that in retrospect perhaps shouldn’t have been made after we returned from the curry house and a few drinks before.

Jamie and I played on our Apple gadgets together as Sue cleaned the flat.

Lunch was at a well known chain of family restaurants where we were sat next to a table of children having a birthday party. Jamie struggled with his meal and the noise of the excited kids behind him. We had a good time.

Afterwards we went out to a local shopping centre and bought him some clothes, some vitamins (to help counter the effects of the alcohol), and then bought him more booze and food for his party that he was hosting that night.

Jamie’s Aunt Deb went out with him and she bought him a hookah (the shisha pipe, not prostitute) and I had fun assembling that later in the flat. I think Sue was a little jealous that she could not stay for the party, but we left and heard later that it was all a big hit.
