As Nick got home late on his birthday we celebrated it next day, as it was a public holiday. Mind you, it was a really grotty day, so we ended up staying indoors until it was about to get dark, at which point cabin fever set in and guilt about Emily not getting fresh air forced us out for a quick walk up to Kamezuka park. Apart from a couple of dog-walkers it was empty. Emily walked all the way there and seemed happy enough pottering around despite it being bitterly cold and damp. In fact when we tried to take her home she got in a strop, but we'd had enough of being chilled to the bone. In any case, we wanted a nice early night and I had plans to cook a special birthday steak dinner for Nick. Emily wolfed two portions of black forest gateau, and I was glad that I hadn't laced it with too much booze!
