I’m not sure if it’s coincidence or that Aquarius born folk like a blue uniform, but in the space of three days I share my birthday with two good friends who like me have worn blue surge as a career choice.
I thought my birthday was going to be a quiet celebration, a pizza at Leonardo’s maybe or a meal at Hotel Cumbre with Prisci.
Fake reasons to drive vía Margaret and Deryck’s home by a poker faced Prisci landed me in a surprise dinner party
The menu (with tailored designed print) was perfect. Deryck is a first class chef. Their company and that of Valerie, with Sabine and Andrew, made it a memorable day for me.
I shared a birthday drink with Shane the following night. He had service time in the Royal Navy and then the Police Force
I had sent an Amazon present to arrive at Blakey’s home in Bebington (Cheshire, England) the following day. Blakey had a full service career in the Police Force
Along with thoughts of what to do on my birthday I had baked some more mince pies in case I had visitors, and Prisci really enjoys this new treat
They looked a little more presentable than my last batch, and scored good marks from Prisci, Deryck and Margaret.
There is a Royal Navy ‘toast’ schedule to follow, so to my fellow Aquarians raise a glass on your day ( 🥃 for me it is ‘Our Men’):A few jobs were waiting now after the Xmas hols break and a lazy few weeks with Salsa my only exercise. I will have a tot for my late fathers birthday then crack-on with a list of tasks at Karl’s and then Valerie’s…
Well the mince pies look fab. I remember the ‘after dark ‘ cakes at the BBQ on the G&S a few years ago…ha ha. Great birthday then Cliff. Loving the blog xs
