To Don in Oz - wishing you a very hoppy birthday and many, many returns of the day. I hope I got the right date - if not you can just begin the celebrations early !
Cheers, Harry

Many thanks Elizabeth, but I do not wish to be reminded of this rite of passage which seems to have telescoped in the last ten years.

I just sent this quote to Gail and David and now find it applies to me as well.

"Marriage is the alliance of two people, one of whom never remembers birthdays and the other never forgets them."
Ogden Nash
US humorist & poet (1902 - 1971)

However I hasten to add the Harry and I are not married - yet!!

Happy birthday Don, my very best wishes.

If you lived over here you would be up for a telegram from the Queen soon.

In the absence of the Queen...here's a posting from the Witch!! Best wishes, Don.

Woman Hitler sends her best wishes too

Dear Don,

'Sorry - I seem to have missed it now, but at your age you'll have forgotten that you've just had a birthday.
What age are you?
Did you get a new shirt?

Young Harry unclipped your little koala from the dining room curtain today and brought it to me in the living room. Has he got the gift of divining with rods? We shall see.

Thanks for the copy of the portrait of you on your birthday and the photo of your cake. I'm sure you'll not mind me sharing the pics with the others. Some time I'll look out some of the photos you sent me of you and your friends at the Orrisdale Naturist Camp.

Many Happy Returns!
John

PS I've written this in large fonts because I know that your hearing is not what it was.

PPS Your birthday portrait was rejected by this website as it was "considered an afront to common decency"

All the team out at Orrisdale were more than happy to lay bare their best geburtstag wishes and I hope to join them again soon on that windswept shore.

Great bunch of girls.

Careful now boys. You two have got into trouble before for posting silly pctures on "other forums"

The Witch is watching

And in case some of you haven't worked out what 'WOMAN HITLER'
is it's 'MOTHER-IN-LAW', an anagram from David's wedding speech !
LOL
