			I had a wonderful day, but the best will be coming this next weekend. I can't wait! Oh, and turning 35 sucks big time. I really didn't think that it was going to hit me like it did(ya know when you're riding a bike and you're looking at something off to the side and smash into a parked car...kind of that feeling). Ah well, still lots of life left in me and more good times to be had. Thanks again you two

			Thank goodness I checked in to the Downs and thus did not forget Mith's birthday this year.... 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Very many happy returns, my dear old bean. Well not so old..ahem....being younger than me. May you have much (just-post) midsummer madness, of the nicest variety.

			Uh-oh! 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Two remarkable birthdays, Naria and Mith! (I really should visit this thread more often as I'm more than confused letting you two slip out of my sight in what comes to birthdays...) This wouldn't be the same forum without you two. May there be a host of these days for both of you to come! Youngsters... ![]()

			Given that Monday is a rotten "going out" night the festivities started with a meal out on Friday, continued with a family Sunday lunch (on Sunday unoriginally) then cakes at work, a drink with my godmother and an "indoor picnic" watching Wimbledon highlights with my god-daughter ..... champagne, smoked salmon blinis, serrano ham, good bread, good cheese, Eton mess. Oh and lemon and lavender cup cakes. We decided to save the bittermints for another time. Fabulous but don't offer me a "waffer-thin mint" or indeed anything more substantial than coffee for about a week
