George woke early and was sitting waiting for me in the lounge. I dealt to his needs first and then got his breakfast ready. We sang happy birthday while he had breakfast and waited for the caregiver who wished him a happy birthday when he came in.
After his shower he opened his present with me and his caregiver. He opened his card. Both things I had carefully wrapped so that they would be easy to unwrap.
We then waited for the nurse to come to deal with the catheter.
As soon as she had been we went to the Palms Mall so he could go to the Divine Cake shop to choose a cake. When we first entered the Mall the cake shop had gone!! We kept going and found that they had moved to a new shop. George checked out all of the cakes and chose a Tiramisu.Next we went to Honeys where he had a toasted sandwich and coffee which he loves. The owner gave him a card for two free coffees for this birthday so he felt very special.
It was 30 degrees yesterday so lovely and hot. We had lunch sitting outside and watching the world go by.
On arriving home George found a parcel for him in the letter box. On opening it he found a lovely carved bowl from his oldest friend in Tauranga. He rang him and spent a pleasant half an hour chatting to him.
For tea he wanted to order Indian takeaways which we did (his favourite).
Later the caregiver came to put him into bed and then he had a red wine and watched a favourite movie.
He loved his day, it was all about him.
Today he has gone to his club wearing a silver hat. They will also spoil him there today and have a cake and sing happy birthday to him.
