Gosh thanks chaps.
I’ve now reached the age where I’m opting out of more birthdays,it’s gone beyond a joke now 😀
Started the day in the early hours giving advice via mobile to Daughter,whose boyfriend dumped her yesterday.Lord knows what she thinks I know about men,hasn’t she seen her father ?
Going with the theme of the worst year ever,Mr. Bee’s main present turned out to be the streaming cold he’s been nurturing …
I must say I’m somewhat niggled that John Lennon got shot on my birthday,particularly as he was my favourite Beatle,so here’s a picture of the Imagine memorial to him in Central Park,New York,in 2007.The deliciously fuddled hippy chap is making the peace sign with sunflowers,at back right daughter and Mr. Bee are discussing whether Watching the Wheels is better than Instant Karma,and the woman on the far left isn’t me,she’s much too elegant. ( Sorry about the photo quality,I got one of those gadgets for converting old negatives for my birthday but I haven’t got the hang of it yet).

Just a thin covering at the Black Country Museum in Dudley yesterday,but back home in Sussex today … !!! Well,it’s worse than 1962 🙁

None here,and it’s been a balmy one degree above freezing all day.
Is there any snow in the west midlands ? I’m going up there on Wednesday and I need to know whether to take my pink desert boots with the thermal insoles.

And there was me thinking all men would go through hell and high water to …. :diablo:
There’s not a single flake where I am in sunny Sussex.The sun’s shining,the birds are singing and Mr. Bee’s gone out somewhere ..aaaaah !
