A very quiet birthday morning was spent in front of a big log fire, drinking coffee and reading the papers. Stephen was in good spirits which was as good a birthday present as any.
My brother David, sister Sue and her partner Bob, called to see us in the afternoon which was much appreciated and we enjoyed their company. Stayed for afternoon tea as I had made some cakes. A very nice moist Victorian Fruit Cake, a large Double Ginger Cake, and some Fig and Prune Tea bread spread liberally with butter. Figs and Prunes sound ominous - but I made the (laxative) tea bread especially for Stephen and, as happened, it turned out to be bloomin' delicious, so everyone wanted a slice - or two. Moist and fruity.
Stephen became very weary by five o clock - as you can see from the above photo - and was not at all well this evening. I am worried as his colour is not good and his eyes are sunken.
The Outreach Team from the Hospice are calling to see him in the morning - to make sure he is alright. Let's hope they can do something to make him feel better.

Your birthday may have been over Babs, but how lovely to have your visitors, the food sounds yummy, wish I had been there to sample it all. Stephen looking good, but know he is is great discomfort, much love to you both. Jan x
Your birthday sounds as though it was very enjoyable. Stephen did well to go the distance even though it must have been very tiring for him.
