With deepest sympathy...

I quote:

I spent almost an hour at the card shop trying to find exactly the right one for you. The soppy ones were too pink and vomit-inspiring, and the funny ones were clichéd or looked cheap and tacky..

So I ended up choosing this
(Be thankful you didn't et the Bob the Builder "I am 3" with an extra 3 scrawled on it ;-) )

Inside it says Thinking of you at this time of great sorrow.

Yeah, love you too darlin' ;-)

OTOH, I did get a cool Winnie the Pooh card from shrublette, and a bunch of birthday and engagement cards from the aunts and uncles, looks like they've been address sharing again.

Oh, and the Amazon delivery arrived. And shrublette chose me some Maya Gold. So I may possibly be watching ep 1 of BSG s3 while eating lunch...

Ehehehehehehe glad you approve ;)

Mum wants to know why you haven't mentioned you got a card from her too?

Why yes, she IS looking over my shoulder, how did you guess? ;)

Enjoy BSG and healthy lunch. Wish I was there to share it with you (well, the BSG anyway)

[matgb]

Um, two reasons.
1: 12 cards
2: I don't appear to have received it yet...

[miss-s-b.livejournal.com]

She says she posted it about a week ago (second class). It was from Margaret and Andy, so you may not have immediately associated that with mum...

[matgb]

Ah ha! Um, yeah, many relatives called Margaret, it came with a bunch of other cards from family and the postmark was obscured, hadn't tied it in.

Thank her for me, 'tis a nice card, didnt occur to me to check further, d'oh!

[miss-s-b.livejournal.com]

LOL no worries.

My goodness - you're as old as Voyager!

[matgb]

Well, three years older, but yeah, that is cool, and a much better birthday to share than Louis XIV or Freddie Mercury.

[miss-s-b.livejournal.com]

What's wrong with Freddie Mercury?!

* shocked expression *

Also, she sent the card to the right address, we just checked.

[matgb]

Nowt wrong with the Fredster, but, y'know, Voyager beats rock star any day...

I recall doing that to Mike at some point when he was still in Exeter and being a mopey sod.

[matgb]

Some things don't change then...

Happy birthday! Take some comfort in being considewably younger than people like me.

[matgb]

Yeah, right, you're not that old. Besides, see post icon...

Happy B'day you old man you. Was scary enough turning 25 this year myself; no idea how you feel :-)

No seriously, happy birthday. Hope it was/is/will be a good day.

[shaysdays.livejournal.com]

Happy birthday!

(and I would totally have done the Bob the Builder thing.)

When I was twenty my brother got me an "I am 2" card with a badge on it - I think it was Thomas the Tank Engine - and wrote inside it "Two glorious decades!"

So, you know, not an original idea...

Slightly late, but I hope you've had a happy birthday.
