Happy Birthday to my H2B (for last week!)

For the New Year we both made a promise to take each others birthday off work and do something different for the day. It was quite easy for my birthday this year as it fell on a Saturday and was living in a new city, so shopping in Manchester with dinner and drinks in Liverpool was perfect.

Anyway, it was Colin's birthday last Thursday and after making him some 'Mitchell Muffins' and eating them in bed he opened some of his 19 birthday cards (this has become a bit of a rivalry) and then got ready for a day at the races. It was the first day of the Grand National meet at Aintree, so we got dressed up to the nines, although not as much as some, and went out for the day.
It was a beautiful day, we ate and drank plenty, placed a few bets and wondered around the grounds. We placed bets on each race, but lost more than we won.

After the races we went to the local curry house for dinner and stuffed ourselves silly and to top the night off we went to a late showing at the cinemas to see 'The Hills Have Eyes 2'. By the time we had got back home we were both exhausted and needless to say I was useless at work the next day (Note to self: take the day after off as well!)

So a huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my gorgeous beau for last week, can't wait till next year!!
