BIRTHDAY FLOWERS

 Today it was my 77th Birthday.  

Really! I can't be that old can I?

The family took me out for lunch and I had some lovely cards and gifts.

A Swatch watch from Matt and a considerable amount of money from the others.


Here's the old lady with her bouquet. 

We were all a little sad inside as there was a big hole where Tom should have been but I'm sure he was there in spirit.

Here's looking forward to another year.

On another subject, I have made the decision to take my piano upstairs and bring my craft table and goodies down in it's place.

Matt came up yesterday and did all the heavy lifting for me.  Thanks Matt, xxx

I find that because all of my stuff is upstairs I'm no bothering to do anything, but with it right in front of me I should be more inclined to get some crafts done.


This was taken last night so looking a bit dim but I'm pleased with it and it doesn't look as bad as I thought it would.
After all, there's only me here now so it really doesn't matter.


Rowan under the 'sun lamp' lol
who says cats are silly, she knows that she gets the heat from the lamp by sitting in the drawer.

    1. You will not believe this, we must think alike. Last year I always said my Birthday was 76 trombones and this year I told them it was ‘sunset strip’ lol can’t believe you have said that. What is 78? Briony x

  15. Happy birthday, clever idea to move your crafting table close to where you spend time in the day.

  16. Happy Birthday from humans and feline here and as the Greeks would say - Chronia polla (many years - meaning many more years for you). It is great to see that the crafting is resuming a strong place in your days and we look forward to seeing much more of your skills with colour and shape. xx Mr T and F

  19. Oh, I thought I'd written birthday wishes yesterday but seems not (must be an age thing!!! hahahaha). I hope you really enjoyed your day anyway, even though Tom wasn't there physically. xx

  20. I like your cat's idea for a comfortable bed.
    I like cats because they do funny things always with a straight face.

  21. Belated happy birthday wishes, Briony - that's a wonderful picture of you. All the best in the year ahead :)

    I think moving your craft things where they'll be close at hand is so sensible. Many times we keep things the ways they've always been, when some changes would make life so much easier and productive!

  22. What a lovely photograph. Happy Birthday, Briony! Xx

  23. Wishing you a happy belated birthday, it sounds like you had a lovely day. The bouquet is beautiful. A good idea bringing your craft table and paraphernalia downstairs, I'm sure you'll use it more when it's where you spend the day. Glad you enjoyed the Eva book I recommended, I might look up some more of her books too.
