Wooooo! It's my birthday and I am at work (I'm writing this on my break). I always said the year I had to work on my birthday would be when I knew I was really a grown up. I've been lucky enough to take a day or two off work for my birthday in previous years but not this year. So there you have it, turning 28 means I am now an adult. It's not all doom and gloom though, this evening Stuart is taking me to see Matilda, the Musical. I love musicals. The songs, the clichéd stories, the beautiful costumes, I adore it all. The main reason I choose to attend a university in London was so I would be able to go and see musicals and shows to my hearts (but perhaps not my wallets) content. The music and lyrics for Matilda, the Musical were written by Tim Minchin. I have a not so secret love and admiration for Tim Minchin. He is funny, clever, Australian and he can play the piano. He's an unapologetic atheiest who wears more eyeliner then I do. I would say he is close to being my perfect man. I'm trying to convince Stuart to let us play 'If I didn't have you' at our wedding but he's afraid some of the older generations wouldn't get it. Anyway back to Matilda. I have only heard great reviews for it, so I am really looking forward to it, if you are lucky I will review it for you!
Tomorrow after work I will be going for a few drinks by the river with my work friends. I then have Friday off so will be going down to my home town/island (the Isle of Wight) for the weekend, so perhaps having a birthday on Wednesday isn't so bad, at least I get to drag things out over the week!
As I am a twin it is also my brothers birthday so I will leave you with a couple of photos of the two of us.
