Well, that time of the year again - one step closer to the grave, lol

Many, many thanks for everyone's well-wishes today. This birthday was extremely quiet TBH - didn't go anywhere or do anything particularly interesting, 'specially with Mum and Sis struck down with colds. Didn't even ask for much either; just seems harder and harder to ask for more in this world...
Even so, while it may have been quiet it was pleasant all-round. Just polished off an Extremely Chocolaty Birthday Cake from M&S and counting my blessings.

Gifts were mainly clothes - new shirt, PJs, another Danger Mouse t-shirt and Marvel Slippers - along with a slim-case for me Macbook and £150 in my pocket. Small but charming, and I couldn't ask for more

And for any latecomers wanting to wish Happy Birthday, extra big thanks go out to you, too. Only seven more months 'till Christmas now, so might as well make a start on an
actual gift list...
