My sixty-second birthday weekend

THANK YOU FOR THE KIND BIRTHDAY THOUGHTS AND MESSAGES

Wow, I'm overwhelmed in beautiful way I never felt possible...but then everything is possible when there is friendship in the world and kind words express well wishes of happiness. I would like to thank all of you, who took time to send me such lovely birthday wishes. You certainly cheered this old chap and for that thanking you ALL cannot be enough. Having such special friends for support is awesome and wonderful.

Yesterday, Saturday, 6th May 2023 was among other things my Sixty-second birthday. Of course there was clearly a lot going on... The King's Coronation was being broadcast live... Then amongst it all I noticed that a good friend of mine was delighted to announce the birth of a grandson, such good news is heartwarming and happy.

Now with all the preparation for my summer season requiring my deplete energy of late. I was rather tired and thought I'd have a leisurely sort of day. To follow, the annual emotional juxtaposition of my Dad's Anniversary, a significant one this year and very poignant. Now, being as it was a Saturday. First thing was to get the weekend food shopping done and dusted quickly. Regardless, I had actually decided to go out for a meal, nothing fancy and not to extravagant, We went to the Crown Inn's, Harbour View, with it's fine food and equally fine location. I meet so many people I know friends from school, cousins I haven't seen for a couple of months., and so many others. Earlier I had a lovely phone call from a nephew in Glasgow and later a wee video by my youngest nephew, aged seven, to serenade me on his violin from Portugal. I loved being out in company but then was getting more tired by the minute.

When I got home there were many messages and I have enjoyed reading each of them. I will also be spending time to give each a special reply. XXX KB
