revelations

Today is my birthday. It's not felt really special, which is pretty nice. I don't like a lot of fuss. I've heard from almost all of my nearest and dearest, which is all I want, really.  My mum is baking a yummy cake and my grandparents and aunt and uncle and cousin and two best friends are all coming over for a feast.  Perfect.

I had breakfast this morning with my dear friend Beth.  (I know you read this, Beth, so on a more personal note, thank you for a beautiful morning).  It was delicious (Orange brioche french toast. Amazing.) and wonderful to see her.  

This morning I had a (small) revelation that in twelve months (from august to august of this school year) I will have lived in three different states, been in two separate countries, and flown fourteen times.  That's the widest sphere my life has ever occupied.
