thank you all, kayakamina, paulineward, JimJools, kettledrum, and shaneystar2. Had a super day, have been well entertained by family and friends. Next year is the big 80. Nice to hear from shaneystar2 again, you seem to have been missing for a time.
Edgar, it's a bit late in the day, but I have only just seen your posting ... wishing you many happy returns, and pleased to hear you have had such a good day.
Kind regards (S).
Delighted you had a good birthday Edgar. After your next one you may still say that you are approaching eighty. You'll just have to lie about the direction :D
