It's my DH's 50th birthday. Unlike me, he is not a human who likes to sit around and just generally enjoy being feted on his birthday. He has all that get up and go stuff I hear about. So, I have exciting plans for the morning, and plans for the evening and night. We live in South London and will be in London Bridge in the evening/night, and will be staying at a fancy-schmancy hotel there so will have a minimal amount of luggage with us.
But I've been thinking I feel like I need something to do with him for a few hours between the end of the morning festivities and the late afternoon/evening shenanigans.
He is a bit of a geek, a huge running/cycling nerd, a film fan (don't want to go see a film though because film is part of elaborate weekend plans) and likes quirky things. I just need to amuse him with something he likes for a few hours and I wanted to give him a couple of options if at all possible. He is annoyingly good at pinpointing the exact things I love and being enthusiastic about them and I am feeling the pressure.
There's a cycling show that's part of RideLondon at the ExCeL that I think I'm going to offer him, but I'm not sure that's very exciting (or it may just be that I don't find such things exciting, so it's hard to judge how much fun that might be for an actual cycling nerd)
So please help me think of a couple of options for him. I don't want to pack the day ridiculously full, so prefer things that don't involve booking, so if he does decide he would like a bit of down time, then that's an option too.
I feel a bit bad, like I'm being very last minute. I feel obliged to point out that I have extensively planned and shopped for his birthday and this is the one last thing on my list!!
