My mum insists he was in there with her for most of the time, but at some point clearly he saw fit to put his feet up and read the paper...
It's been a good day. Not a milestone birthday, but a happy one. Pob enjoyed unwrapping the presents. Some colleagues sent me some flowers. Most of my RL friends (ALL my RL friends actually) forgot, but lots of you on facebook remembered (or were reminded) so thank you for that. I do love it when people remember my birthday!
Now I'm off to eat cake.
happy birthday!! i would like some details on the cake, YUM!

Happy Birthday! Get past 35 and I reckon that RL friends only remember the big birthdays with zeros in them.
42 yrs ago in a couple of months my father was mostly out eating a curry apparently.

Happy happy birthday! And may each birthday be better than the last!
(None of my SIBLINGS have remembered my birthday for the past five years. In which case, I am still 28, which is fine by me).

Happy, happy day to you. Enjoy the cake.
That picture makes me laugh because it could be my own father - same glasses, same hairline, same year. Tee hee!

How awesome that you have this photo.
Happy Birthday. It is a sign of happiness, and maybe contentment, when you don't need your birthday to be a big to-do.

Happy birthday fellow Capricorn!
I had my husband on the phone just a few minutes ago with him thinking today (the 14th) was the 15th with regard to some work-related scheduling. "Um, no. I know exactly when January 15th is." I stated. After a brief pause he stuttered "Oh, yah, right... the 15th." I'll be really surprised if he manages to remember tomorrow.
Glad you had a generally happy day!
