Happy Monday...

via Cathi's lovely blog here

This is just how I am feeling today....balanced, positive and hopeful....

....not sure if it's just being one year older....

....the beautiful sunshine we have been having here in London....

....my Britney Spears performance at a party on Saturday night - my husband's face was quite the picture :)

.....or perhaps all of the above....

....or the fact that having been so inspired by the amazing performances at the London Marathon yesterday, I have today signed up to run a 5K race in aid of Breast Cancer Care in September - with a group of friends. It might not sound that far to many people but I am not a runner so it will be a great challenge and I am really looking forward to it!

Thank you so much for all the wonderful birthday wishes on Friday....so many of them! You are all really kind and said the nicest things....it definitely made it a very special birthday, one of my loveliest for a few years......THANK YOU!!!! xx

Just to add, that the ballet was absolutely beautiful....and made even more interesting by person snoring loudly behind us AND the extremely mischievous two year old French boy sitting directly in front of me. I have a four year son and you couldn't pay me to take him to the ballet so I couldn't feel too irritated by him, I'm sure he could think of other places he would rather have been on a Friday evening!

Happy Monday!!!
