Last Saturday I turned 30. It was a rather emotional build up but actually the day itself passed by without too much trouble.
My birthday weekend started with a lovely curry with my knitting girls. They bought me some beautiful gifts which were most unexpected. It was such a lovely evening.
Saturday, which was actually my birthday, was quite a quiet day. My knee was so painful and stiff all day, typical! I went to get my hair done in the afternoon, they're so ace at Franceso's, they always look after me.
My Mum made me a cake and my Dad iced it. It was his first attempt at icing a cake and I think he did a fine job.
In the evening we went to Granvilles in Stone. What a laugh ! My mates were on form and great fun. Granvilles always have a live band on so most of my pals were throwing some shapes and taking it in turns to come and sit with me. My friends try and include me all the time which is great but I want them to have a good time and not worry about me all the time. Dancing is the one thing I think I miss the most. Being a musician I love live music. When a band are playing stuff like Stevie Wonder I find it really shitty that I can't have a dance with my pals, although I have for very good at wheelchair dancing at gigs etc.
My biggest concern with turning 30 is that I don't feel my life has moved on since I was 20. I'm still living at home, I have no family or career. I know things have changed since I was 20 but it just doesn't feel like it. I went and got myself a masters degree. I worked so hard to get some kind of career but life didn't take me down that path. I've traveled, all be it mostly with my Mum and Dad but hey I've seen some amazing places so every cloud and all that!
