It was a lovely day. In the end the weather was tolerable so daughter and I went shopping and had our nails done, and then walked along the deserted waterfront in the howling wind and spitting rain taking pictures which was cold and kind of insane but fun and good for my soul if that makes any sense. Then I wanted to go home and order my favourite pizza and daughter insisted we hadn't yet done anything "special" and wanted dinner at a restaurant. So as we were disagreeing we walked past a new pizza restaurant and that settled it. Really nice too. She even ordered vegetarian so we could share which was thoughtful.
As it would have been A's and my 10th anniversary I did feel a bit sad a few times especially when daughter wanted to look in a shop that was playing an eagles CD that used to be A's and my favourite and that made me teary enough that once the first song ended and I realised it was the whole album I had to go and wait outside :-/
But all in all a nice, easy and happy day with no dramas! And no cake either, sorry TT but neither daughter or I are into cake, lol!

Happy Happy Birthday to you!!! So glad to hear you and your daughter had a lovely day.....I can tank on music too - I've gotten better at realizing it's just a song, but music has been around my whole life so there are songs that take me back/bring up memories....
Hugs to you both - may your evening also be 'drama-free'!
