Thank you.

Hi James and Kasia and Gabriela and Jonathan and many thanks for you birthday greeting. Lovely to hear from you.

Yep, I have at last got seventy-five years service in. Wow! Three quarters of the way to my century!

It is true that I dont personally know how many more years I will be journeying on this terrestrial plane, but I awoke this morning and tried to count my blessings which are really too many to count. I enjoy perfect health (just a smattering of hypertension, and mutter of tinnitus and a bit of deafness (which can be a blessing on its own as I can remove my hearing aid to find peace and tranquility in the noisiest situation)), but apart from these I am superbly fit and well and raring to go! So having tried to count my multitude of blessings and not exhausted them, I resolved that the next ten years were to be the most fruitful of my life.  WATCH THIS SPACE.

Had a lovely day today. Shopped with Grace at ASDA and LIDL and ALDI and Netto before a delicious liver and onions lunch. This afternoon enjoyed a brisk walk - guess where! Yep, Barrow Park where I saw the first crocus of the year in flower. (Another blessing!!!)

Had a delicious tea - toasted cheese crumpets with a side salad and crisps (learned about these from you, Kasia, during our visit to you - now one of our favourites) and then travelled the world a little on the internet. Actually got to Hawaii and enjoyed some sunshine and friendly faces and the views on the Hawaiian web-cams. And then, best of all, found your greeting on the blog. Lovely!

So, whichever way I look at it it has been a lovely day and a foretaste of many more lovely days to come as we head towards Spring and Summer. It gets better and better.

Well, there I go rabbiting on again. Please give each other a hug from me.

My love to you - and everyone else out there,

Dad.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Just to wish you a Happy Birthday Dad, I hope you have a great day.

with love James Kasia Gabriela and Jonathan
