And at my age, not much to celebrate, apart from continued survival, I guess!
I managed to gain the following from my lovely daughter, who also baked a nice chocolate cake to mark the occasion, and my wife cooked up some very nice pork belly that my son came around and shared with us!
These will be added to the GNW collection in due course (I have several boxes of hard plastic cavalry patiently waiting in the queue).
The boy muttered something about a present "soon" but I will take that with a pinch of salt :)
Happy birthday, you can't beat chocolate cake and new figures
ReplyDeleteCheers Scotty - wise words!
DeleteVery many happy returns! Always good to get hobby related pressies.
ReplyDeleteThis must be the most instantaneous response ever Michael - your comment was not there when I went to answer Scotty above! Thanks for the birthday wishes.
DeleteHappy Birthday Keith, surviving another year has its bonuses!
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray, very true....as the saying goes, we will be a long time dead!
DeleteAnother day this side of the dirt! Meat, cake and toys. You are loved.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, you are correct, of course π
DeleteHappy Birthday, Keith!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jon π
DeleteAnd many happy returns: the real question is whether this year's birthday figs will be painted by the next one π

ReplyDeleteThanks Ed....what a great comment, so good, you said it twice!! Now the challenge has been issued, I will have to make sure that they are!
DeleteHappy Birthday Keith and you can't beat anything chocolately on a birthday;)! A nice present too and fingers crossed you get something from your son. As a former colleague uses to say, at my age waking up is a bonus each day...
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve, the cake certainly is very chocolaty!
DeleteHappy Birthday! Survival is somewhat meaningful in itself.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the boys present is just in the mail. π
Thanks Steve. I will update you all if another present ever eventuates!
DeleteHappy birthday Keith! And a nice present too plus chocolate cake, can't be bad!
ReplyDeleteCheers Donnie, it wasn't a bad day!
DeleteHa! So Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michal!
DeleteHappy Birthday Keith. The family always seems to get you something suitable appropriate, even if you are still waiting for your son's present.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence, they do get a short list of unsubtle hints from me in the week or two prior! I won't be holding my breath for the latter!
DeleteA belated happy birthday Keith!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris, not that late, given I only mentioned it 22 hours ago!
DeleteHappy birthday Keith. Cake and toy soldiers! It was great when we turned 8 and still great now. π
