    A big thank you to Nigel, for his bottle of homemade chilli oil, given to me, on Tuesday, some of which I used today.

    Like Nigel I am a fan of very hot and spicy food, so this went down very well. Nigel did tell me the brand of chillies he used, which I have forgotten, so if you read this Nige, please let me know!
    Dinner this evening, was just like it used to be at school; a good old fashioned hearty if not healthy meal. I have always loved this kind of cooking; a bit like comfort food!

    Luke's 46th Birthday!

    So yesterday I reached the grand old age, of 46, not something I was looking forward to. To be honest. Since I reached the age of 40, I haven't really celebrated Birthdays. I don't see the point of celebrating, getting a year closer to death.  That sounds morbid doesn't it; it's not meant to, just a fact of life!

    My friends here in Gran Alacant, went out of their way, to make sure, I enjoyed my day; I really couldn't ask for a better group of people, to be a part of my life. With Darrell, away in the UK, they have been their for me, every step of the way, yesterday was no exception.

    After having pre dinner drinks at Zest, in Sierra Mar, we headed to my favourite Spanish restaurant, La Bodequite de Pascual y Agus in Gran Alacant, for some of their fantastic Paella; Paul and Michele had arranged a Birthday cake and champagne, which was an absolute treat and delight. I haven't had a Birthday cake in many years. Sitting, eating, drinking wine on a warm spring evening, was just the tonic I needed, to feel more positive, than I have for a long time. A fantastic Birthday, spent with some special friends!

    Thank you to everyone who sent me Birthday messages; I am always grateful, for your thoughts and good wishes!
