Hi Pen,
Thanks for the good wishes at the start of the day and the end of the day. And I appreciated you saved your best jokes and cartoons for the occasion.
I bet you will never guess who gave me this birthday card
Your puzzle: a queer (sorry, strange) mixture, 1st Earl of Leicester, and the Manassa Mauler, but they chose the right day to be born on.
I have just got home from a meal with June , Andrew, and my golfing buddy and his partner in the best restaurant in Bowral. So although it is a couple of hours past my usual bedtime, I am at peace with the world.
The best birthday present today was the news shortly after 5 pm that the cooling off period is over and the move is definitely on.
I’ll try for a traditional post tomorrow.
