shewhomustToday is durham_rambler's birthday. There's no point in sending him birthday greetings, he doesn't read this.
A year ago, we were just entering the time of lockdowns and cancellations, and I was able to buy him a birthday lunch - though since he was due at County Hall for a meeting, it was a fairly low key affair, at the Garden House. We didn't eat out again until August, and it wasn't what I'd have chosen for our last meal out - except, of course, that for reasons completely unconnected with the pandemic, it was what I'd chosen.
One year on,durham_rambler's birthday treat is to go to not one but two (virtual) meetings. I have ordered a restaurant meal kit for a special dinner, something I haven't experimented with before, so we'll see how that goes...

Date: 2021-03-13 08:15 pm (UTC)About this time last year, I had decided to celebrate my birthday with a party, since Chaz has his real birthday party and a half-birthday party (July 4, so it's a national holiday that everybody gets off work). My birthday is March 21, so no party for me last year. We did get to go to our favorite sf convention a week earlier, and everybody was careful (though we weren't wearing masks yet). It would have been this weekend, and I'm looking forward to going next year.

I'm sorry you missed your birthday party, and the con, two years in a row: I'm trying not to look forward to things right now, because who knows what will be cancelled - but yes, I hope next year is better!
