Lady Magnon: What do you want for your birthday?
Cro: Nothing.
Lady M: You must want something!
Cro: No, really; I'm fine.
Lady M: Some books maybe? Or how about some new brushes?
Cro: No, honestly; I have everything I need.
Lady M: How about I take you to some fancy starred restaurant?
Cro: No, I'd rather stay at home with a nice big juicy steak.
Lady M: Oh, and by the way, I'm flying to Blighty on July 18th, and I won't be back until the 21st.
Cro: Really? But you'll be back in time for my birthday!
Lady M: Yes. And I may bring Harvey J and Ollie back for you; so how about that for your present?
Cro: Aaah, now you're talking; that would be just PERFECT. Thank you!

N.B. My birthday is in about a week's time.
Many happy returns for a weeks time x
Many years ago Rabby took me to Bergerac for a birthday lunch. Except he turned right before reaching town where I took delivery of two daughters at the airport. The best birthday surprise ever!
A wonderful present indeed!
That's exactly how I feel, even though I now know they're coming over.
Far better than a fancy meal.
Another N.B. It's my youngest son's birthday today; Happy Birthday Wills.
Now that's what I call a present.
I am pleased that Lady M didn't keep it as a surprise…..you can now have some time looking forward to it, as well as enjoying the boys when they arrive. (I always feel that " surprise parties" are a mistake…half the joy is looking forward to something)
I'm with you on this one Frances.
What a great pressie. she knows her man!
We gave my sister a surprise birthday party for her seventieth some years ago - all the extended family at a hotel near her home. The photographs of her tell it all - she hated every minute of it and made her daughter swear never to do it again.
Happy birthday Cro
If you got her in the picture for your birthday, that would be the end of you.
Chance'd be a fine thing!
I do envy you your lovely grand children. Just being with the folks we love is a wonderful gift.
Lady M did not have to ask you what you would like for your birthday, she just went and planned it. What a wonderful gift for you both to enjoy.
I'll wish you a happy birthday next week then; I'll pick a day at random.
I could park my bike up that arse
That is the exact conversation we have in this house.
Not if I have anything to do with it you don't.
Every year it's the same....
Time to get your special shirts ready then.
Absolutely. They're different this year.
Lady Magnon looks a lot younger than you.I did not realise you had such a young wife. She looks very fit and healthy:)
Happy Birthday for next week. Your present from Lady M sounds just perfect.
Fancy restaurant meals always disappoint me these days. Although it's more work, I'm far happier with my own cooking--good quality food prepared with love! :)
A happy birthday to Wills!
I can imagine your excitement, Cro....a perfect gift for you.
My birthday is the 21st...the BIG 60....yikes!
Trust John Gray to lower the tone !! Love him all the same!
She was feeding the cat, hence the outfit.
It comes to us all (if we're lucky); my commiserations.
