Happy birthday to me!

[andrewducker]

Due to scheduling conflicts we had my birthday a day early, and despite Covid and *other* scheduling conflicts doing their best, still managed to have about 10 people over for a couple of hours.

Sophia helped us do the party shopping, and showed excellent taste in cakes. Jane put in a ton of work blowing up balloons and making the house presentable to visitors.

And it was lovely to see a small group of friends, and hang out in the garden with them blowing bubbles for children to chase.

I'm 45 (turning 46 this month) and I thought you were my age or younger than me! ^_^

Happy birthday! What kind of cake?

[andrewducker]

Raspberry Madeira cake, apparently.

(I can't eat cake, as wheat sets off my IBS and my insulin response is a disastrous mess. But it seemed to go down well with everyone else.)

[cellio]

That sounds tasty! I'm so sorry you didn't get to eat your own cake. I hope there was something else for you that was suitably festive.

"Please remove Tiara and Plastic tray before serving." :-)

[andrewducker]

You have to wonder who didn't, and what happened to them...

And yes, I had tortilla chips with dips in for snacking on, and got to pick what we got for takeout later on (gluten free haddock and chips), so I was perfectly happy.

Happy Birthday! That is a fine cake, indeed.

Also a fine shirt. :) Congrats on half a century! Here's to many more.
