Birthday Present ๐
I wasn't expecting much in the way of gifts today but this arrived to my phone this morning and is about all I need for my 41st.
I mean, a condo by the sea, a fast car, and a beautiful wife would also be nice, but I'll take the above and be happy - although sleeping on the settee in the middle of the day, that's so old!
I also got an early morning message from my brother with this emoji ๐ด, and one from my mother too, thanks mum!
Apart from that though, it's been a quite one, probably the quietest one so far. It's partly my fault, I've not arranged anything and it is cold, wet, and blowing a gale outside - winter birthdays are such a ripoff.
Anyway, if I didn't put anything at all on the chain on the 10th December this year it would feel a bit strange. Next year I'll make more of an effort and who knows, party on the beach?
Aw. What a lovely birthday present.
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear Asher.
Happy birthday to you!

I couldn't agree more. In fact I got so pissed off with it I changed things a few years ago. Now I get cards on my actual birthday and my family organise a surprise and presents on a day of their choosing in the summer. It's been absolutely brilliant so far. Why oh why didn't I do this years ago?
If the worse comes to the worth I'll organise a meet up for you in Brighton. No problem with the beach but weather might be a bit trickier. It's blowing a holey here today as well. ๐ฑ
Many happy returns Asher. I hope you have a year full of wonderful surprises that surpass anything you're dreaming of right now. ๐ xxx ๐
Aww, thank you Gillian :D
A swap to summer sounds pretty awesome, how did you wangle that one?!
That would be great, thank you!
I moaned about my birthday for years.
My son-in-law suggested I celebrate it in the summer everytime I moaned about it but I didn't think it would work so "yes butted" it for years.
Then I decided to give it go and hit the jackpot the very first time . . . they organised a prosecco picnic in Kew Gardens followed by a Bruce Springsteem concert at Wembley. I had no idea. What a fantastic surprise. It was such a brilliant day!
And the last few years, although not matching the magnitude of that one, have all been wonderful surprises.
I am very, very fortunate. ๐
That's so cool, and genius! I'm going to change mine to the August bank holiday and see what happens! :D
Nah. Not August Bank Holiday. You want your own special day. ๐
But itโs a day people have off... fine, Iโll pick another ๐
Great surprise those pics of your "little" one.
Congratulations mate, will drink one (extra) to your health. Cheers!
Not so little these days for sure, thank you buddy, raising a glass to that :D
Generally speaking, these kinds of pictures are unwelcome.

Well, we would all be pretty useless if we could not at least tease you on your birthday ;)
Unlekker why? :( because it was uneventful? - I prefer the uneventful ones more these days lol... must be getting old! :)
Yes, yes you are ๐
A sad reality lol ;) Hope the remainder of your b.day panned out better :)
A man's true wealth does not depend on things alone in this world. Judging by your photos, you are truly blessed. Happy Birthday!
Damn right, thank you!
Happy Birthday, 40's were great. Looks like someone had some fond memories to share back with you.

Thank you! :)
Cheers. I hope you have a great evening since that is probably about all that is left of this day! I still have about 7 hours before bed time!
Cheers Bozz! I'll be sitting here with a few beers and a few tunes from the past to make me feel younger I reckon :)
