Thanks Anais Satin! My birthday is on the 16th, so I have a while to go yet.

On Saturday, my 2 best friends turned up on my doorstep and kidnapped me for the day (I thought they were just unusually caffeine-deprived, since we had lattes straight away). I was taken out shopping for a sexy outfit, given a sushi lunch, then taken home to my friend's house where they stuck me in the tub with hair & face masks and various other spa accoutrements. After a few hours we all got dressed to the nines (hair related detail: the mask did wonders and my hair did its fab ringlet look with some rhinestone clips to hold it back), and they walked me around town until I was thoroughly confused about where I was going.

We arrived at a 17th c. brick house decorated with candles, knocked on the door and my boyfriend opened wearing his spiffy black suit. He gave me a long-stemmed red rose and a pineapple containing a (quite toxic) cocktail. At this point I was a bit in shock and was later described as looking like a lamb being led to the slaughter. I entered a room filled with 35 of my closest friends, who started singing Happy Birthday to me (in English and Swedish).

Of course, I was incredibly moved - I was shaking and spilled my pineapple all over the place. There's nothing like realizing how much you are loved! We had a fantastic evening with tapas, a bonfire in the bricked garden, lots of candles, drinks named after me, fireworks, Arabian music, an off-key but enthusiastic rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner at midnight (I'd forgotten the 4th) and me being tossed up in the air (with knickers al fresco, but I seem to be the only one to remember THAT).

I still grin every time I think about it, it was one of the best nights of my life! Grin

Thanks everyone, I'm touched! And I will gladly share my cake with everyone who wants a piece! Grin

I had dinner out with friends last night, they made me wear a headband with pink sparkly bobbles, sang to me about 50 times and inundated me with gifts.

The highlight of the day was my boyfriend's present, he got me a vintage Vespa! I'll have to get Bikerbraid's advice now for helmet-friendly hairdos!

Hugs to you all,
Kate

You are so lucky to have such great friends. Sounds like you had a great birthday.

Helmets are important - never ride without one. Brain injuries are serious, permanent disabilities. Motorcycle helmets are different from bicycle helmets. Never having ridden on a motorcycle of any size (and never will), I'm not real familiar with what works for hair in the helmets. I have heard that they can be big enough to wrap your hair around your head, then put the helmet on. Braiding your hair is always a great option.

Have fun!
