Wow! Wasn’t expecting that. All your good wishes are very much appreciated. Today is the actual day but I’m being treated tomorrow to an excursion on, I believe, a charabanc to some seaside resort on the south coast. Doesn’t sound very exciting to me but, you never know, there could be a surprise in store.
Main event on Sunday with lunch for a couple of dozen friends and family.
Thanks again guys (which the kids tell me can embrace gals - no @Malone I didn’t mean “..who the kids....:-) ). BTW that isn’t a double chin.
Thanks to all of you that I hadn’t thanked already. I’m very honoured. @perfidious_albion: sounds like the making of a deal. For me to spot you tomorrow, you’ll have to wear shorts or tuck your trousers into them.
Once again, thanks to everyone for your kind messages. Really looking forward to tomorrow. Trying to find out how far the Shepherd’s Crook pub is from the ground as one or two of the Woodland crowd are heading there but contact with them and the pub is proving difficult. My own preference is for the Good Companion which is pretty close to the ground. Any thoughts?

Happy Birthday!
All the best Micra, always a beacon of common sense and correct grammar while others (myself included) struggle to achieve either quality.
Have a great day Micra.
Many Happy Returns please, @Wig_and_Pen

80? I would have guessed about 78! Happy Birthday @micra

Happy birthday. Definitely would have guessed 90s though
Watch it, old son!
Happy Birthday, if you come and find me at the Norwich game I have a signed pair of away socks for you.
Hopefully you got a replacement for your decrepit PC @micra. Have a great day.
Many happy returns @micra
Have a good one, @micra! Hopefully the boys have got the message, and hand Portsmouth an upset for you!
Happy Birthdays, for today, tomorrow and Sunday.

Into your socks of course. I think the lunchtime pint has kicked in.
No sign of one yet @mooneyman.
The day’s going well so far, thanks.
@DevC: remarkable how people can get hung up about such trivia !!
Happy birthday @micra!
Happy birthday to my favourite grammarian and retired meteorologist!
Happy Birthday @micra, hope you have a wonderful weekend. Take care in Portsmouth and don't get press-ganged into the Navy.
Happy birthday @micra
Portsmouth? @micra can remember when it was all fields...
Happy birthday @micra! I'll give you a shout out on the comms tomorrow
Happy birthday @micra. Hope tomorrow is a worthwhile treat

It’s Bill Murray’s birthday today too.
@micra Whatpub suggests the Shepherd's Crook is the nearest pub to the ground.
