Well after a couple of weeks in Australia, I came home on Bridget's birthday and managed to see her for 15 minutes prior to her daily cycle in to school. She had returned the previous day completing a half marathon on her last day in the half century, so now she is officially on the next segment of her age cycle. So she comes home later in the afternoon and appears to have a few more aches so now she is stretching these new kinks out..
She bounced back perfectly for the next day she was ready to celebrate her birthday with a few of our close friends. The two girls belong to Alis and Dan, who live in our village and often come over to chat and show us things. About 20 minutes before the cakes was brought out, the youngest Thea went to Bridget and asked her when the cake was coming. Not knowing anything about the cake, Bridget replied 'there is no cake, this is just a dinner for us all'. Thea replies "yes there is a cake for you, it is in the fridge over there". And so the surprise was almost complete when the cake arrived and of course they had to help blow out the candles.
Well all this hard work, teaching, running and partying is sure to get to her as she is now a little older... so there is only one remedy for that, a good old Thai massage.
Bridget does just fine actually and the massage was a few days later but hey, it was a good story ...and Happy Birthday Bridget.
