Half-way to 70
35 years ago today, during an ominous power cut, I was born!
Yep, today I celebrate surviving another trip around the Sun. I've got the day off, which means I'm blogging this in my dressing gown at 10:00 am, having just eaten a lovely Birthday Breakfast and tallied up my Birthday Present Haul.
So far:
Me: What is it? You didn't spend enough time away from me to buy anything!
Jane: Not telling!
Me: In fact the only thing I saw you pick up was those sparkly drinking straws.
Jane: It's a surprise!
Me: But, if it is the sparkly drinking straws then it won't be a surprise because I was standing next to you when you picked them up.
Jane: Not saying!
Me: It's not sparkly drinking straws, is it?
Jane: Not saying!
So today it was an immense surprise to open my final present from Jane and find...
...sparkly drinking straws.
Wow. I never saw that coming, did you? :-)

(I love it when it's your birthday, for obvious and selfish reasons :)
Half-way to threescore and ten", eh? I recommend large draughts of beer!
If fizzy beer/lager is your thing "Hiccy Burpday!"
Live Lounge is a FAB album

Just think, now you can sit and laugh sadistically at all the people who have to risk repetitive strain injuries lifting their drinks up to their mouth when you can do it at a more leisurely civilised pace with the power of straws.

35 eh? I'm starting to include that under "when I was young"...
Its always a good birthday when I'm not able to say "I remember when I was that age." :)
If it helps though, I thought you were a little younger than that.
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to Becky!
