The day after tomorrow is Holden's 11th birthday. Due to an ill-timed tantrum on his part, there is to be no party this year. This leaves me at something of a loss. Every July since he was a very very small person indeed there have been massive festivities, insane invitations, ridiculous cakes, wild sleepovers and a lot of preparations. We were going to have a sleepover plus 10-pin bowling and laser skirmish but, in a rage about something, he decided that it was stupid and he didn't want a party. Now, of course, he regrets it deeply, but we can't resurrect it.
We will, however, be having a birthday dinner. And there will be gifts, including (I know we will live to regret this) a drumkit.
Wondering why there is a picture of a Moreton Bay Bug on this post? That was dinner last night. They are expensive but delicious, especially with chermoula and couscous and harissa and eggplant.

Poor silly Hol! But I'm sure the birthday dinner will be great. I'll call him on 8th, before I drive back up to Kudat. Ah, those bugs! I remember when they were RM3-5 a kg here in KK. Now they go straight to the seafood restaurants and the only place I can find them if I'm lucky is Kudat.
