Hello Angel,

Thank you very much. I did have a cake and a "party, and a glass of wine. I went to my American neighbour's for tea yesterday, and then had a celebratory game of Scrabble! Such a genteel way to spend an evening!

Take care, best wishes.

Penny.

Hello Moby, how kind of you to share your cake with me. Yummy. Thanks ever so...... As to what planet I'm on, etc. etc. ....I do wonder sometimes. I missed the clocks being changed yesterday and was all in a tizz when I found out I was an hour behind. I only noticed when I saw the time on the computer was different to the clocks in the house!

Hello Valley - Thank you very much. My birthday is actually the 29th, so I've had two days to celebrate. Lovely!

Hello Ashes, thanks much for the kind regards.

Hello Jan, thank you very much, too, and for the little "gift". .

Byee,
Penny.
