- (These events were recalled, afterwards on: Fri 230421; and, was not written on the actual day, itself.)-
-----
The first thing I remember doing on my birthday was to get up and go have a close look inside of the mirror just to see how my face had 'changed'...am I really older or not?
I saw there many white hairs...especially, inside of my beard/but, also, on top of my head. I would say the black hairs do still manage to vastly out-number the grey/white, though...maybe, by around 90%. Nevertheless, white/grey hairs are being intermixed in there everywhere...far too many to go pluck out!
-----
Next, I went and checked out Facebook...to see if anybody was interested in wishing me a Happy Birthday...? As usual, there were loads of birthday wishes...maybe around 10/or, 20+; -(this is because I tend to correspond with Facebook friends nearly each and every single day; and, whenever their birthday arrives...I send them good luck and best wishes); and, I tried my best to reply to everyone speaking on a personal level.
-----
Because, the sun was shining down...and, also, it was Sunday(therefore, not a 'busy' working day/nor, a week day)...I recall phoning up my cousin, Sharon; and, asking if it was ok for me to come over there. Her reply to me was, essentially, no; due to Covid-19(this is in spite of my having had my 1st AstraZenica injection around the beginning of April/the 2nd injection due to be administered in June); but, she did say around May 12th the government are due to lift the ban on people interacting with one another.
So, I just calmly replied. No problem; after all, it's better to be 'safe, than, sorry'...; and, I really don't wish to give anybody a serious illness from which they can't ever recover.
Around 10/20 or so minutes, later on, cousin Sharon phoned me back, again; mentioning, 'Happy Birthday!' I hadn't told her anything...as I wasn't exactly feeling too proud to be aged 58...!
-----
I phoned Millicent and Trevor. At first, Trevor answered the phone...I didn't actually tell him it was my birthday; but, as usual, we had a nice friendly chat. He told me Millicent was out...so, I felt I would just call back, later.
I did call back Millicent; and, told her it was my birthday. She wished me, 'Happy Birthday', of course; and, also, we continued chatting for a bit.
UPDATE: Some days, after...I think, it was Wednesday...both Millicent and Trevor showed up at my front door (though, they did NOT come in...due to Covid-19); they brought me a Birthday card with £20.00 being included inside of it in the form of 2 x £10.00 notes; which I proceeded to store underneath the carpet in case of desperate need.
I gave them a drone...brought from an online auction...as a pack of 10 x drones...to give to Chris.
-----
At first, I had planned to go out and spend the day drawing outside of the Tate Britain museum in Pimlico; but, as the day progressed...and, I 'eat/drunk' more and more...with my stomach really full...and, also, in the heat I felt lazy...so, I didn't feel like travelling, anymore; so, ultimately, I spent a quite and peaceful day inside of the home...which is exactly how I like it.
Oh, and, I also went and did some tidying up...throwing out old food jars/tins dated 2012/2015/-etc.
