My sister had a family party for me on Sunday. Most of my mother's side of the family were there, except a second cousin who has a chest infection. None of my father's side of the family was there (unless you include my sister and me). Not surprised on the latter, but very disappointed that my father could not be bothered. On my mother's side there was an uncle who drove almost the whole way across the country to be there, and an aunt who I have not seen since she became an aunt (i.e. when she married an uncle), and the penultimate time I saw her I got very drunk and vomited over her! They turned up, but not my father.
An old school friend found a photo of the two of us at school and gave me a framed blow up of the picture, which was a nice present. Amongst the other stuff I was given was a movie light (800W Redhead). They got it on Amazon, and looking at Amazon, you could practically stock an entire movie company with stuff they sell!
Oh, and I found the only use for getting old. The British unit of money is the pound (~=$1.70 US). One friend had the idea of giving me one pound for every year I have lived!
