Thanks very much for the birthday wishes. It's a pleasure reading them all and seeing the images that people have posted.

You share a birthday with my baby brother - he’s 67 today
Happy Birthday, Anita - you're looking good for a 67 year-old!
:twisted: :lol: Happy Birthday to your brother, Jomo.

I had a copy of Andrew Maunder's book Enid Blyton: A Literary Life as a present so I look forward to seeing what he has to say. I also had a ticket for the stage show of My Fair Lady which is coming to London in the summer, an Odeon pass and a jigsaw board. Over Christmas I did a 1000-piece jigsaw with my son, daughter and daughter's friend (it was a picture of vintage sweets and chocolates) and I hope to do another 1000-piece jigsaw soon, called 'The World of Charles Dickens'.

This afternoon I watched Half a Sixpence (the filmed performance of the West End show) and it brought back great memories of when Tony and I went to see it in 2016.
