Happy Birthday Mom

I went to work, like you do. Then I finished mowing the grass (also like you do, but mostly because the weekend weather forecast was not great).

Now? Now I'm making myself a special meal - lamb knuckle (I think that's what it is) with conchiglie (shell pasta), carrots, peas, and some edamame.
Then a piece of carrot cake.

The ironic thing, I think, is that I rarely bother to celebrate my own birthday. But I'll celebrate the one of somebody important to me.

Her expression is "haven't you taken it already?".

Later:

Birthday meal.

It's a shitty law, complain to your MP.
It's not that I don't want to hear from my British friends, it's because your country makes stupid laws.
