happy belated bday!!

Thanks guys I had a really good and busy weekend.

First up my daughter came home from Uni to see me (well Ok it was to go to one of her friends birthday parties, but I still got to see her) Then after a bit of shopping we set off for St James Park (the 52,000 seater stadium of Newcastle United) where Jennifer was going to throw her self off the top of the stands for charity. There was a zip wire there to stop her making too much of a mess on the pitch. There were a few of the re enactment group there to offer support so after we had all had a good laugh at her screams we went to the pub. There we were able to see a bit of the cup final and have a bite to eat and a beer. Shame I missed most of the final as it looked like a good game.

We got home and then decided to go out for a beer. Her lad was staying at his dads so it was just the two of us.

On Sunday her lad came back early to go off to Air Cadets so we had most of the day to ourselves. After going and sorting out my dads’ birthday cake (He’s 70 on Wednesday) we headed off up the Tyne valley for a short walk. It had to be short as I seem to have hurt my knee a couple of weeks ago and its taking a long time to heal up. Then time for a swift one in a tiny little village pub before heading home. I was due to make Beef Wellington for the family to all sit down to that night and even if I say so myself it turned out pretty good.

My birthday present was two tickets to the opera on Tuesday so I am really looking forward to that.

Happy Belated Birthday Darden!

The rain (and my own laziness) kept me from being on line on Saturday. I hope the opera is a good one for you.

Health & Happiness Always!

Happy 21st! Or whatever year

Where does the time go?!

Kisses for the Missus! Hope you guys are doing great!

Happy birthday from me too old boy.

Here's to many many more.

A very Happy Birthday, Faraway.

Have some fun!

Happy Birthday dude!

Happy Birthday fellow Taurean!

Happy Birthday Faraway Lad.

And from another fellow Taurean I hope to raise my elbow in your honor later on Darden! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Belated B-Day!

Health & Happiness Always!

Thanks guys. Embarrassed a bit about not getting back on line earlier but as Gigi said for my present this year she let me go to the Bristol Comic Convention (on my own!!!!)

I had a whale of a time. Well once I got there. My flight on the Saturday was supposed to be at 07.10 but because the airports computer system crashed and no one could be checked in we didn’t take off until 10.10. Not nice considering I got there two hours before take off to try to avoid the lines at check in.

Still all in all it was a grand birthday and I owe Gigi big time.

And I found a real ale pub.


Thanks for the birthday wishes. I am looking forward to the big meet up next year as a birthday present.

Hey Darden !!

hope you had a great BIRTHDAY and got loads of birthday comics in Bristol !!

Matthew.

Happy Birthday, Darden! I ordered a cake from a galaxy far, far away ... it should be here by supper time.

Happy Bday Darden!

I shall drink an "Old Speckled Hen" in your honor!

hbfl

Enjoy it big time.

A faraway , and best wishes for a great day!

Happy birthday!
since we can't fit that many candles on any cake without creating a fire hazard, you'll have to find another way to get lit!

Hic!

Thanks guys, not done much for this birthday, but I did just take a half day away from work to sit and do nowt at home. Just finished a takeaway curry and a beer.

Cobie. Let me know when you have that Speckled Hen and I'll open the litre bottle that my lad bought me at the same time so we can toast each other. I'll then drink the bottle of Old Peculier he also bought.

Nancy. The cake is not here yet, did you send it sub light?

Anthony. Two years till I'm 50!!!!!! Where did those years go? So what we going to do for the big five oh.

Sean. I know the best way to "that" many candles on the cake......have a larger cake!!

Happy B-day, Darden!!!!! I heard on the news about some sort of mass demonstration in Newcastle.


Health & Happiness Always!

Happy Birthday, Darden.



Any requests for the band?

All the best to you this year!

Have a great one Darden! We'll lift a pint to each other in Vegas.

Play "Misty" for me!

Hang on...they're still trying to get the piano through the door.

Too bad it forgot its ID.

Happy Birthday, Darden!
