Birthday Boy.

 

Today is my birthday; I am 80.

I don't like being 80. I was perfectly happy being 79.

I'm trying to be positive, and to think of the benefits of being so ancient; but frankly it's all a bit gloomy.

So, Happy Birthday to me. I hope that people will NOT try to 'wind me up', let me enjoy my day without incident, and allow me to commiserate with my inner self, in peace. 

p.s. I have woken this morning with a very sore throat, a bunged-up nose, a burning sensation in my chest, a headache, and a general feeling of being unwell. Poor old soul !!! Still; I shan't let it spoil my day.

Congratulations on another trip around the sun. One of your guests probably brought some bugs with them! A terrible gift.😁

Cro Magnon said...

Yes, I'm trying to ignore it.

Thank you H.

Children and planes are the greatest carriers of bugs. I quite expect it came from one or the other.

Happy Birthday Cro. Hope the bugs don't spoil your day.

Cro Magnon said...

I won't allow them to.

Happy Birthday! Hope it's full of love and laughter.

As the Russians say, the alternative is worse! Very few ailments can stand up to a bottle of champagne and a decent meal. Happy Birthday!

Cro Magnon said...

Thank you Andi; I'm sure it will be.

Two of my grandsons have given me a bottle of Dom Perignon. I hardly dare open it.

Very Happy Birthday young man! Hope you feel better later and able to celebrate. .......(I had a hip replacement the day before my 80th last year so wasn't doing much celebrating on the day!! )
