Hi, everyone!

I'm a newcomer and not native.

I have a question about a sentence in HP and Sorcerer's Stone (p43).

Monday. This reminded Harry of something. If it was Monday - and you
could usually count on Dudley to know the days of the week, because of
television - then tomorrow, Tuesday, was Harry's eleventh birthday. Of
course, his birthdays were never exactly fun - last year, the Dursleys
had given him a coat hanger and a pair of Uncle Vernon's old socks.
Still, you weren't eleven every day.

What does the last sentence mean?

Can anyone help me? Thanks.

John
