A Memorable Kind of Birthday

Guess who's back?! Finally, am I right? Goodness I've been slacking. So, a memorable birthday, what's that all about?



Before I get started on the actual day, I will mention a little snippet of the day before, or more specifically, the afternoon before. Since the virus has been more or less overcome where I am right now, I've finally been able to see a few of my friends again (however, while obviously still being very careful). So, on the afternoon of the 3rd, I had two of my fellow 'professional bakers' over to help me make a cake. After spilling egg on the counter, breaking the measuring cup and loads of mocking and laughter, we had success in the form of a slightly funny-tasting chocolate cake. Sadly, I don't have any photos of our lovely creation.

Right then, let's fast forward to the following day :). For the first time ever, I was woken up by a call at midnight with the person on the other end being even more excited than me, because of me picking up exactly as it hit 00:00. After that, I got woken up a second time at a little past 5am by a long text from my night-owl friend. After  safethat, I was safe from further surprise wishes until I was fully awake a few hours later.

The day flew by until there was only a matter of minutes left until three of my closest friends were due to arrive. NOW THAT is when I got very restless and was just about counting down the seconds before I heard the first knock on my door.

Some beautiful flowers and aromatic petels I received :)


Goodness, I don't even know where to begin from here. The presents I received were extraordinary and the company of my favourite people made the evening all the more special. 

We had a quick swim in a very pungent chlorine pool and had dinner. After that, the real fun began. There is almost too much too remember, and therefore way too much to relay to you, but what I can say for definite, is that I had the absolute best birthday. Even after 5 days, it is still all I can think about.

I feel extremely greatful for the fact that, unlike a lot of people, I was able to celebrate my birthday in the company of three of the best people I know. And I feel even more greatful to have those three people as my trusted companions (who are very likely to have a little friendly cringe at this bit when they read this entry). Turns out, all you really need to be happy is a random day, and the people closest to you to add a few bright sparks to it :)

And that's us)). It only just caught my attention that we subconsciously lined up in order of height.

    Omg you're back! I'm sure that I can say for a lot of people that: We miss you :D

    Happy belated birthday! It's so lucky to celebrate it with friends, sometimes they are all you need. Btw, for the second last picture, your friend (or is that you?) Is kind of transparent for a moment BSJSGXH idk what's up maybe you guys are secretly superhumans but that was just a funny thing I wanted to pointed out.

    Lovely entry. Happy belated birthday again and welcome back!

The real 'Bluggles'

Hi, everyone)). I hope you're doing well. This is an entry I was looking forward to writing for a few days now, and finally got down to it.  As we all know, every task that requires any form of effort (which is, in fact, EVERY task) has its own set of difficulties that tags along with it, no matter if we like that or not. So, I wanted to address some of the struggles I, as well as probably some of you, have come across while blogging this far. BUT, I feel like anyone can just sit down and share a few of their difficulties, therefore, I decided to also include the solutions that have worked for me in my attempts to overcome them. Right, let's get to the point :). The struggle:  Loss of motivation to write. As you may have noticed, I haven't been updating my blog as much as I did in my first two weeks of maintaining it, and that is due to the excitement and motivation to do so slowly dying down. Personally, this is one of my least favourite 'side-effects' of absol...

All about the doggies

Hello, dear readers)). I hope everyone's doing okay. This long awaited (by me) entry is going to be about the dog shelter I mentioned in one of my previous posts: https://mybluggles.blogspot.com/2020/03/after-pandemic.html?m=1 First of all, I'd like to point out the fact that I'm afraid of dogs. People don't believe me when I tell them (especially since I tend to go about petting every single doggie in my sight), but I can assure you I am. Trust me on this. Regardless of that unhandy fear, I have spent the past few months paying visits to volunteer at a dog shelter in my city. I first found out about the shelter when a good friend of mine offered to take me there with her for a day of volunteering. I agreed without any hesitation, because the idea appealed to me quite a bit. Now, I was warned that it would be noisy at the shelter, but no warning could have prepared me for the amount of noise you experience every time you set foot inside. To give you a slightly bet...

Some Positive Occurrences

Hello, welcome back :)). And of course, May the 4th be with you! :) I think this post is pretty self-explanatory; I'll be listing down some of the pleasant stuff that has taken place lately)). 1.)  I've reached a pretty decent, and somewhat unprecedented new height at baking. Or to put it simpler, I decided to challenge myself and have managed to make some nice croissants from scratch. I would have never thought that I'd be able to add this onto my list of things that I occasionally ever so slightly brag about, but here we are :). 2.)  I have FINALLY , and I will emphasise this further, FINALLY  read 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell. For years it has been THE book almost everyone automatically assumed I had read (since I enjoy my classics), and I had to go through the embarrassment of admitting that I hadn't. Honestly, I think this is the accomplishment on this list that I am most proud of. For anyone who hasn't read the book, I really recommend it. ...
