Thank you very much keberoxu! It's been a lovely day, with sunny weather and lots of neighbours popping round with cards and presents.
My sister rang and we had a super chat.

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...

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.

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

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.

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... :-)

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!

My apologies to one and all.
I forgot about it, this year, until it was October already.

Herself had her birthday
on the final Sunday in September, in 2019.

Her PM to me says it was a very pleasant one.
Husband safely returned from visit to family in Africa.
Smokey Pokey is still alive,
and "Spirit" aka "Sam the Skull" is well.

And, Tattie Bogle, she is thinking of you.
Sound as if Senoufou has benefited from stepping back and simply lurking,
as much as we all miss her.

Could a Mod possibly remove one of them?

Hahahahaha Raedwulf! At my age, I reckon birthdays are a really bad idea. But one gets extra crumpets, neighbours have brought round boxes of chocolates and sweets, and it's been so lovely eating them all (husband helped).

This evening we had a post-Birthday fish-and-chips takeaway from a shop we'd never tried before. A bit pricey, a bit far away to go regularly, but absolutely delicious.

If one had a birthday every week, we'd be so fat we'd have to live in the garden, or have our front door widened.

It was hard to believe when the art school burnt down again and more completely than last time, but the latest I've heard is that it is to be rebuilt exactly as it was - they have complete specifications, plans, drawings and photographs. But goodness knows how long it will take.

Think you'll be amazed at the refurbishment....everything has been reinstated as it was, sensational.....but also so very sad as CRMs art school eent up in flames for the second time in 4 years (while the repair and refurbishment from 1st fire was ongoing) poor old Sauchiehall st...much of it is closed off due to that fire and another one farther down the street
