Well, I'm peeping in through the keyhole tentatively to thank all you kind people for your good wishes. Miss you all, and lurk often just to see what's going on!
Still enjoying my crumpets and butter, the company of my last remaining cat SmokeyPokey and my dear husband Ib in our village in Norfolk. Being a year older doesn't seem to matter.
Big hugs to everyone!
Eliza/Senoufou

We have the excessively buttered crumpets in common. At least three at a time in my case. Now there's a start. And there was nothing belated about your birthday, though some greetings have been... :-)

How kind! I had a very nice day, and many neighbours came over to our bungalow with cards/presents. (My husband had to laugh as one neighbour presented me with some spray deodorant! Perhaps I pong a bit? hee hee)
I also received a large bag of daffodil bulbs, with a promise from neighbour-across-the-road that she will come and plant them all for me.
Mwa mwa to you too dear Charlie, and to everyone on Mudcat. XXX

Thank you all again for your good wishes xxx
I haven't had a buttered crumpet for a while because I've been told to lose a bit of weight :( But I've now lost a stone and a half, 21 pounds,so perhaps...
The best present of all was a phone call from my dear sister. She's still poorly with post-Covid lungs, but is being very stoic & stalwart and trying to walk around her village in Scotland further and further each time. She bought an oxygen machine for use at night, so her O2 levels are getting better. It was so lovely to hear her voice.
Also, my husband's sister Ramatou has started to recover from the bad bout of malaria (we sent money for a medic with a drip) (I mean a transfusion drip hee hee) and she's no longer vomiting.
So all the lovely greetings on Mudcat, and both our sisters getting better. What a fantastic birthday eh?
Mrrzy et Monique: gros bisous at grands calins á vous deux!xx

If you've lost that much weight, you definitely deserve a birthday crumpet (and there is no need to wait until next time you have a birthday), just have one now and then. A late Happy Birthday from me.

From: Senoufou
Date: 01 Oct 20 - 07:18 AM

Ha! Thank you dear Jos! I reckon you're absolutely right - why not a single crumpet just for an occasional treat? There's a big block of butter in the fridge, and our lovely village shop sells crumpets...

Hahaaaaagh Donuel, loved that dancing cupcake!
And merci Mrrzy, notre petit chauve-souris!
I did have one toasted crumpet loaded with butter, and managed to resist a second one.
My sister is sadly still 'under par' with this extra-long Covid. She's a determined lady, and is now teaching bridge as well as playing in tournaments. Also trying to do her table-tennis again at the club. Some of the players are over 80! She trails round the hilly places near her home with her daughters and their partners. She makes me feel rather lazy!
I did have such a nice birthday yesterday, and all your messages added to the pleasure, so thank you all so much.

My funny neighbour-across-the-road made me die laughing yesterday. She handed me a little paper bag and said, "Hairs anutha present for yew. It's a day late!" Inside was a little plastic urine sample pot. She knows I have to have some tests at the doctor's in a couple of weeks and I'd told her I didn't have any suitable container for my sample. She added that she'd been tempted to gift-wrap it, but had decided not to bother. Normal for Norfolk!

Thank you all once again for your good wishes and kind greetings.
I had a very nice birthday yesterday. Neighbours flocked round (including the two gay veterinary nurse ladies next-door, who have a Sanctuary for farm animals threatened with death by cold-hearted farmers). They are so sweet and kind, and may get married soon. They brought a lovely bouquet of flowers and some table mats with decorations of farm scenes. (I help them a bit financially with their Charity)
Husband sent me a lovely handbag (via a courier) and a card with lots of love in, and he's saying we'll probably get back together before long, which I long for.
My sister phoned and we had a lovely long chat. So did an old friend in Somerset, who's 83!
I sat on The Bench in the warm sun, and all the village dog-owners walked by with their pooches, wishing me a Happy Birthday. It was just lovely.
I feel so lucky, and the kind comments on Mudcat have added to that feeling. So thank you all again XX

Thank you so much keberoxu. So kind of everybody! I don't actually feel all that much older (I'm 73 now!) although sitting on The Bench in the sunshine has tanned my face and given me a few wrinkles. Ah well, at least it may have boosted my vitamin D levels, which helps the immune system! As my (very) Norfolk neighbour says, "Yew gotta keep a-troshing mawther!"
