"Hello." "Is that you Henry" I called at 12.35 when I woke up to use my commode and saw the light from Henry's office. "Yes, you old bat," came the reply. "How about a glass of champagne and some strawberries?" "Lovely" I said and thus started my 60th birthday.
Thought I may as well open my cards received on 11 November and pressie from Sally Young. I mean I had already had 2 hours sleep! I had a card from my school friend Gwen who lives in North Harrow and Uncle Geoff in Manchester. Even my ex-hubby Roger and his wife Jane who are on holiday in Portugal sent me a card and voucher which was a nice thought. It's funny cos I remember getting engaged to Rog on my 21st birthday (which was also a Wednesday) and had to stay up till midnight before I got the ring on my finger! I can't believe 39 years have gone by since then - frightening thought!
The champagne I am drinking was a pressie from Joyce and George Atkinson - Joyce and I worked together at Brooke North, lovely woman. It's Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin - lovely!!! Henry is having Mexican strawberries from M & S but I get heartburn so just on the champas! Henry is also eating a pykelet - that man can eat anything at any time bless him!!
