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.

Happy birthday. I am glad you won't let your ailments spoil your day. Kick your heals up and have a blast.
Happy birthday Cro
Congratulations on another trip around the sun. One of your guests probably brought some bugs with them! A terrible gift.😁
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.
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!
Thank you Andi; I'm sure it will be.
Happy 80th... enjoy the day and ignore your troubles!
Two of my grandsons have given me a bottle of Dom Perignon. I hardly dare open it.
Happy birthday Cro, many of us are not that far behind you.
Happy Birthday Cro! Hope you have a lovely day despite your ailments.
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!! )
Happy Birthday Cro. Hope you feel a bit better as the day goes on. At least you are celebrating in a beautiful place.
Have a very happy birthday. Hope you feel better soon x
Happy birthday Cro - a good vintage!
Good advice; I shall try to follow it.
Not nice is it. We have to make the best of it.
The 'ailments' seem to be calming a bit. I took some pills!
Goodness. That's really not the way to celebrate your 80th. I presume it was all worth it in the end.
Happy Birthday Cro. At least you are able to celebrate it in the glorious bolt hole you have created. Have a splash in the pool, and a glass of whatever you fancy.
Yes, it's a lovely spot, and I've been 'breakfasting' with some of my favourite people.
I'm not too bad. I thought it would be worse.
I like to think so. I'm quite surprised I made it to 80.
Yes, it's a lovely spot to celebrate; which I quite intend to do.
Happy birthday hope your lurgy doesn't develop. 🎂
Many happy returns Cro. I hope you have a wonderful day.
