Happy Birthday Eliza.

Here is a typical Oz birthday serenade:

Why was she born so beautiful?
Why was she born at all?
Because she had no say in it,
No say in it at all.

(Don't worry. It doesn't make much sense to me either, but it's an Oz tradition. LOL)

How very kind of you. I'm twenty one you know. (again)

My sister, the little monkey, sent me a card with a huge spider on the front. Husband produced a most beautiful card covered in flowers and glitter. He always writes a long, loving essay in French on the back, which always makes me happy.

One of the cats (Murphy) has been sick on the hall carpet, a true feline Birthday gift.

Unfortunately, I had to have several blood tests this morning at a local surgery, and the lovely nurse, Jayne, kept taking one ampoule after another until I reckoned I must be nearly empty, so I've had a nice long nap to recover.

Just sent you a PM! Wish I had known it was your birthday too as I would have wished you many happy returns on that too :-)

Blood tests are not the best of things for birthday presents but I can beat it. On my 60th I had a colonoscopy! They took an internal picture too which now has pride of place on the bookshelf. Makes an excellent talking point :-D

All the best and many more of 'em.

To answer your question, Jos:

On another BS thread,
Senoufou cheerfully informed us that
St. Michael's Day is her birthday.

I'm always very naughty and open any cards as soon as they arrive (birthday is actually tomorrow, 29th).
Many kind neighbours put cards through our door this morning while I was at the doctor's, and my sister's card arrived with the postman. Blooming hairy spider on the front, I nearly jumped out of my skin hee hee.
The heap of buttered crumpets sounds just the job beardedbruce.

Happy birthday and best of luck with the blood tests. A few years ago I had so many monitoring my recovery from sepsis, I thought there shpuld be a chair with my name on it in the local phlebotomy clinic!

All your good wishes have made me very very happy, thank you so much everyone.

That blooming nurse (she's actually lovely, but still...) took so much blood I reckon she's making Cannibal Black Puddings. I bet the tests come back 'anaemic'!

Having a great Birthday; the sun is shining and we've been to the big Tesco. Bought...er...crumpets... (to help keep me slim) and a 'sop to Cerberus' in the form of some fruit. It's lovely to be twenty one yet again.
Have an excellent weekend everyone!

Birthday today? Congratulations! We're celebrating our 52nd wedding anniversary, also today, in a posh hotel in Glasgow. Ubiquitous Chip tonight, dinner in the hotel tomorrow after visiting the Kelvingrove Art Gallery, and dinner at No. 16 (Byres Road) on Monday after shopping till we drop in the City centre.

So 29th September signifies for us both!

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

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.

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.

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.
