Happy Birthday to Me!

Another year, another birthday. October 9th to be exact (74) and I am looking forward, not just to the big piece of chocolate cake I will thoroughly enjoy, but to another year of sharing my seven decades of experience and accumulated knowledge.

Thank you for visiting this blog, for becoming members, and for your donations that help to maintain it.

    Happy Birthday Alan!

    I'm always surprised when I find a blogger is around the same age as me, I tend to think of them as being younger. Not that I think of myself as old......

    Ligneus: I am a lot younger than most young people I know! When you have parents like mine that lived well into their 90s, the 70s still feel like you have a way to go.

    Fred: I am deeply touched by your message, but people have been saying I am "touched" for a long time. Others just come right out and call me a right-wing screwball. Nice to have some company!

    Alan, very many happy returns of the day, plus chocolate.
    Your blog cheers me up over here in England. At least there are still some people with common sense, who are sufficiently articulate to express their views.
    Happy chocolate.
