It was Calum’s birthday yesterday. He turned eighteen. How old does that make me feel? Unfortunately for him he had to go to work so had no really time to celebrate. Magz and Tammy made him a cake. That is one of the traditions in our house. When a birthday arrives so does a large cake covered in icing. This year some home made strawberry jam separated the two layers. I had a piece in my lunch box today and it was delicious.
Calum’s friends at a local computer store (http://www.utopiacomputers.co.uk/) gave him a disk for Windows 8 or so he thought till he opened it. It was a floppy which they said was for the down-low version. He had went down town to spend the money we gave him which he bought himself a suit with, so popped in to see his friends. Unlike me he likes wearing a jacket and tie. I’m more the leather biker jacket type. Where he takes his style from must be from his papa Calum. He used to like to get dressed up if he had anywhere to go. More likely though it is his buddies that are the good influence on him as they also like suits.
As for the poem I was working on or I was supposed to work on last weekend. Well sadly I found that I never managed to get the time. The truth is that I was busy conquering the world again. Yes I was playing Civ V again. That is much what I have planned for this weekend as well. I might get back to the poem but I think that it might be for a future date. Sometimes that is the best thing for a poem when you feel stuck with it. You may even find that it wasn’t as bad as you thought. They do say a writer can be his worst critic and when it comes to my poetry I’m guilty of that.
