Thank you, all! While 20 is a rather miserable number to be associated with, I had a very pleasant weekend spent eating out, watching films, and walking up and down hills. The celebrations culminate tonight with a trip to Monday’s top nightclub. Also, I recommend La Tasca as a place to eat out that is very accomodating to veganism.
I don’t think 21 imbues me with any powers over those I had aged 18, but it’s still a rather significant number, much more of a milestone than 20. I’m thinking of doing something on a larger scale next time round. But that’s virtually a year away; it’s worse than thinking about Christmas early (p.s. delete the Christmas thread in Off‐Topic; it doesn’t deserve to exist until December at the earliest)!
I did blow out all the candles on my cake, but I didn’t wish anything on PV. I also couldn’t eat it because it contained various egg derivatives.
FYI, Nate is correct about my Internet connection. Maybe I should have asked for broadband access for my brighday; all I got was what seems to be a jolly good read, a portrait, and this lousy cold.
