Yes Jeff it is my birthday and very nice quiet birthday I have had.
Thank you ciaobella - I did get a purple kiss from Mabel and a nearly one from Milly!
Lou, it was a Welsh toast I told you about. I will relate the story for the rest and risk anger from any English people reading!!
In a small town of Ruthin in the Clwyd Valley in North Wales where my father's family lived, in a beautiful little cottage lived my aunty Kate who was not really my aunt, she was my father's first cousin but several years older than him so we called her Aunty Kate.
She was a maiden lady and very proper. She was a dietician and worked in the local cottage hospital. Every now and then we had a "Clan Gathering". On one such occasion - somebody's birthday or Christening or funeral - she stood up and raised her glass and announced she wished to make a toast.
There was quiet because not only was it unusual to see Aunty Kate take a drink, she was not given to standing up and making toasts. We all became silent and waited!!
She then said: "Iechyd da bob Cymro,................" and the remainder of the toast is unsuitable for this site.
Translated, it means, "Good Health to every Welshman............" (and the unsuitable bit means basically, up your rear end to all Englishmen!!) but the language is more graphic!
Well, there was a stunned silence then in one voice, the toast was repeated loud and clear! The place where our gathering took place was in a local hostelry and we were accommodated in a roped off area and the people at the bar who were not with our party echoed Aunt Kate's words.
It was a moment I will never forget - I was about 15 at the time and I got away with saying the words too! Something I would have been clipped round the ear for, in normal circumstances!

Thank you and brilliant! Zoomies are wonderful.
Little Herbert, my daughter's pup did dozens of zoomies round the garden this lunch time - fair wore himself out. He does proper chow chow zoomies - he is a Border Terrier but I think he has inherited zoomies from M & M.
Then Milly started - round the garden, into the house through to our bedroom, up onto our bed, off the bed back through the house and into the garden again - three times - then she went to sleep!
