It’s my birthday today and it’s a lovely crisp sunny day, so we’re off into town to buy my present, have lunch somewhere nice and generally soak up the sunny autumnal Amsterdam ambience – which, since it’s my birthday means finding a nice canalside cafe or coffeeshop and spending the afternoon comfortably reading in the sun, drinking coffee, smoking, admiring my new boots and generally watching the world go by while making bitchy little comments about people’s clothes from behind my hand.
My ideal birthday treat would be to go down the Marianas trench in a submersible, but it’s a bit expensive. It’s a good job I’m so easily pleased.
