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.
Happy birthday Cro .

Wishing you a very happy birthday Cro and good health. I hope you feel better fast. May you enjoy the company and comaradie of all your visitors.
I believe sipping a glass of expensive bubbly and a soak in your lovely pool is an absolute must for you today. Hoping the cold symptoms can be chased away by both with the help of a little medication too. Wishing you a very Happy Birthday Cro.
Happy birthday Cro!! 🎊 🎉🎂🍾🥂
Happy Birthday! Enjoy the day, your way.
Happy Birthday Cro, have a wonderful day
It seems to be behaving itself so far; the pills help.
Thank you T. It's another 'stinker' here again. So in and out of the pool all day.
Thanks Yael.
That's more like it !!! Some honesty.
Thanks Mary.
It must be; you have the most beautifully named blog in all of the cyber-world.
I don't feel too bad, just a bit 'woozy'. It'll pass.
I've heard about that cure as well. I'm doing my best to comply.
Thank you Jennifer.
It's very hot here, so it's mostly an indoor day. I've already completed four crosswords.
Thank you Hazel.
Getting old is better than not getting old. And age is just a number.
Have a good day with the family.
Many happy returns of the day. It is good to see you back.
Have a wonderful birthday !
Happy Birthday Cro and it is wonderful to see you back. Enjoy your special day
with your family.
Well! No wonder you're such a Wise Guy! I celebrate my birthdays for a whole week. And everyday I go out and buy myself a birthday present. I'm going to milk that sucker for all it's worth! Happy Birthday, Fellow Traveler.
