Another Year

Yesterday we went onto town on a whim because we had Marks and Spencer's vouchers to spend. We bought some food and an egg poacher and some baking trays and a man's hat. The hat is a snap-brimmed trilby- just the sort of thing my father would have worn. 

Today is my 59th birthday.

No celebration today, but maybe over the weekend.

That sounds like a recipe for content.

If I can say that from the pictures I saw of you, you certainly don't look these 59 years! Congrats, and I hope you do have a nice day!

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2010-01-21 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

I'm a little older than Gordon Brown. I reckon I look better than him.

Happy birthday, darling! Fifty-nine!

I hope to see pictures of the hat. :)

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2010-01-21 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

Yeah, I need to get the camera out. :)

Happy birthday!

That sounds an excellent hat.

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2010-01-21 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

It makes me look like a bookie- or a slimmer version of John Betjeman

Today is my 59th birthday.

Happy birthday!

(I want pictures of you in your trilby hat.)

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2010-01-21 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

It makes me look like a slimmed down John Betjeman.

Happy Birthday. You can't be old -- you're a little more than two months younger than I am and *I'm* not old. :-)

I wonder what a snap-brimmed tribble would look like....

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2010-01-21 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks....

It would look like a Russian fur hat with a brim- decidedly odd.
