bday dinner

it was rodrigo's 7th birthday yesterday and as is fitting, he got to choose his birthday supper. he chose hamburgers. made by his mum no less. they were huge and tasty. he also got a book called walter the farting dog. excellent. even better (in his eyes) was getting the bible. not the st james version, no. rather it was the limited edition 3 in 1 book of all the Indiana Jones films, complete with photographs of a very young harrison ford. he is learning english and so he will be fluent in epic adventure-speak in no time. i didn't have a favourite birthday meal per se, but i got a black forest gateau cake every birthday as a child. not sure why one would give a child an alcohol-laden cake rather than a chocolate one with smarties, but that's another story.
