three-oh, ho ho ho.


It was my birthday last week. The big 3-0. Don't tell anyone, but so far it feels very much like being 29. Mr. Franglais and I both took the day off work for my birthday (I always do that; me no likey workey on my special day) and enjoyed a quiet afternoon being tourists in our own city. We walked, ate, walked some more, ate some more, and I spent all afternoon bearing a happy smile on my face as I snapped away on my brand spanking new lens (thx luv!). We celebrated my birthday a second time with my folks during the weekend and will do so a third time next Saturday with my friends. My birthday has been a welcomed little distraction from all the stresses of buying (at last though, yay!) a flat. So it's now official: I'm 30 and...broke, ha!
