That was my Birthday
Well, that was the first birthday I have spent on my own. It was OK. I had a long lie in, breakfast in bed, and presents, before going out for a long lunch at the Cornerhouse Cinema cafe. They had a sale of film posters, so I bought one from when they screened “Who Killed the Electric Car?”. Then I spent the rest of the day watching a couple of DVDs and eating Amaretto biscuits.
I used the days running up to my birthday to stock up on provisions for the day. I seem to have gone a bit over the top, so I was able to have pasta with pesto, a glass of white wine, many amaretto biscuits, birthday cake, and after dinner mints for dinner tonight! As for breakfasts, it'll be until at least next week before I have finished the Panettone!
So that was my birthday. A few other interesting things happened recently. The weekend before this one just passed, I went back home and attended the Scottish Green Party Conference. I didn't really spend much time voting on motions or anything. It was mostly a social visit to catch up with people from Parliament. While I was in Edinburgh, I found out that I had been elected to the Student Council. When I say that I was elected by one vote, you could interpret that as either I had one more vote than my opponent, or that I only got one vote. Sadly, the latter was true. But I suppose that it doesn't really matter seeing as I got a seat.
The one disadvantage of being on the Student Council is that I have to attend the Union's AGM, which is tomorrow at 1730. This means that I will leave the flat at around noon, and only get back around half seven! A gruelling day lies ahead.
