Birthday customs

I had a birthday recently. Nothing special, aside from to those colleagues who remembers my ‘special day’ and who didn’t receive the cakes and biscuits it’s customary to provide.

So, a few weeks on, and after occasional good-natured banter designed to motivate me, I finally left a few packs of cakes and a box of biscuits in the office kitchen. Well-received it all was too.

Speaking of late birthday surprises, Theresa May called a UK General Election for June 8th 2017.

Yeah, of course I fear the worst.
