I bought a cake! No homemade for me. I forget what my daughter calls this cake. It’s white with a cream cheese frosting and a red layer. There’s about 3 layers to it, it comes square. It’s just a tiny cake big enough for the two of us tomorrow. Good lord I’m getting old! I completely forgot my birthday until yesterday when I got a card from my sister. I’m not really one to celebrate my birthday but cake is nice. Maybe if mum’s feeling up to it we could go out to eat tomorrow. It’s been forever since we’ve been out. But if I feel old I can’t imagine what my sister feels! She’s 12 years older than me and her birthday is next month!
