What a night!

Yesterday was magical. I had a lovely birthday. I walked into the kitchen and everyone sang Happy Birthday. It was a rainy Saturday so I thought it would be perfect for a day at the art gallery. Susan and I had scones and tea at Henderson's then went to The Scottish National Gallery. It was so overwhelming. They have an immense collection. Three floors of some of the most amazing art in the world. Some of my favorites were Raphael's The Bridgewater Madonna, Van Gogh's Orchard in A Blossom, Gaughin's The Three Tahitians, Degas' sculpture The Tub and Titian's Diana & Callisto. So beautiful. Funnily enough I ran into someone from Canada. I was walking through the gallery when I heard my name. A student I taught improv to at McMaster so many years ago said hello. He's visiting Edinburgh and had tickets to our show last night. Which went amazing by the way. Our biggest house yet and very responsive. I had such fun performing last night. I had many moments on stage thinking about how lucky I am that I get to do what I love. Especially on my birthday.

Oh after the gallery we did my other favorite thing. We went food shopping at Harvey Nichols. That was REALLY fun. I bought lots of great food and treats.

We then raced to David Bann, the restaurant I chose, to meet the rest of the gang. There were 14 of us. After about an hour wait we got a table all together. The food was amazing and the company even better. We were there for hours and just talked and ate and talked and ate. Then I went out with Alicia, Olivia and Sara, Jayne's daughters and their friend. We went to a bar called Three Sisters. It was crazy. The highlight was that a 24 year old guy thought I was 28. That was a nice gift. Maybe he was just drunk. It was a great night. Truly memorable.
