Happy Birthday, Vest! I hope you enjoy your day...and the enjoyment continues. :)

Today, 15th, is a friend of mine's birthday. We've known each other since 1965. She turned 83 today. We became friends when I commenced working for her now late husband after I left Gympie to live and work in Brisbane....all those years ago.

Many happy returns of the day Vest!

Here's hoping you have a red lettered one :-)

(And just as an aside - it was on this day, July 15th in 1960, I met The Golfer (aka the love of my life) in a swimming pool in Nicosia Cyprus)

Take care

Cathy

Ec.Lee.Cathy. Today is also St Swithin's day, And also would have been my Sister's 90th Birthday too, she left for heaven so I was informed 20 years ago. It has been estimated that 31% of my known relatives are Cancerians. Thank you lovely ladies for your birthday greetings.

Happy Birthday Mr Vest. you old codger.xxx. I wonder if the world would have been a better place had the Big MO missed his flight from Mecca and or his Magic Carpet crashed on a mountain.

Cathy. So you had a good look before you bought. Much the same or nearly like the Lady who fell in love at first sight of her Hubby on the nudist beach.

The Last Post

I am sorry to say this blog will soon have its final post, this post may be my last.  I would like to say "Thank You" to all of you nice people with whom I have been in blog contact over the past sixteen years. Unfortunately, my health issues have become worse over the past two weeks, my mobility is at its lowest point; and I become dizzy after a couple of paces, I am using oxygen permanently. It feels like I  am falling apart; I have Kidney - Heart - Lung and Bladder problems, plus many other add ons to stir the mix. I am still living? at home, where I have a comfortable environment and the necessary assistance,. I do not sleep well; probably due to loss of body activity.  My eldest son Christopher will be the person to inform you of my final time on earth.  I need to lay down for a while right now. My best wishes to you all. Vest Daily Gaggle, AKA.  Leslie John Bowyer.

OPEN FORUM. This is a new concept in blogging.

In future ALL posts on this Site will have a section to be known as 'OPEN FORUM. this is to be introduced as from now and a reminder of this promulgated at each time a new post arrives.

When referring to comments in archives, you will be advised to mention the post and it's date. Open forum comments Shall Not relate to the current posts, and must be headed 'Open Forum. Open talk opens the way to further talk, as does wine or love, and a little bit of gossip is good for the soul, another good thing about gossip is that it is within every ones reach. The more the pleasures of the body fade away, the greater to me is the pleasure and charm of conversation.
