Thank you all for the birthday greetings and wishes.

It has been a good day so far. I was greeted this morning by my wife with a cup of coffee and an antique copy of Vern's "20000 leagues under the sea".

Then it was off to the shop to work. This afternoon we were visited by "Johnny Bagpipes" who just returned from a long road trip sporting his new Freedom Kilt.

Now that I have joined the ranks of the ancient I think I feel a nap coming on.
