Evening Update
Well – there was no knight in shining armour this evening and I didn't bother with fish 'n' chips either! I was so tired when I finished work and promptly fell asleep on the sofa when I got home. I had a really unhealthy tea of Waitrose miniature chocolate cup cakes, which Vivien bought me!!! I had some very kind presents from my family and an unexpected one from a very good friend and some lovely cards. Also received some amusing verse from J.F!
Thank you so much to everyone for so many lovely birthday wishes from friends and celebrities both on Facebook (81 messages so far!), email and via my blog – lucky me!!! Much appreciated. Sorry I can't reply to you all individually. I was at work, but had a lovely day with all my colleagues – birthday birding at the weekend! The evenings are slowly starting to get lighter, which can only mean one thing...... birding after work!!!
There will be no birthday picture from me – I've been at work all day and look my age today – obviously not 21!!
Happy Birthday Penny, hope you get wined and dined tonight!
ReplyDeleteSadly not Sue! Thanks for your birthday wishes. Someone did email me a picture of a very dishy knight though and a birdy cake!

ReplyDeleteThe verst is yet to come....
ReplyDelete"I had a really unhealthy tea of Waitrose miniature chocolate cup cakes"...
abusing one's system with "bad" food is perfectly legal on your Birthday, at Christmas, the New Year and Easter...
don't let the "Food Police" tell you otherwise!!
