As old as I feel - Small chilli - 21-09-2022
Well it’s official. Today I’m actually as old as I feel ( physically, not mentally
!) Today I hit the half century mark 
How did that happen! I’m not normally one to make a big deal of a birthday. It’s not that special everyone has them
. But today I am 
.I’ll see you all later I’m off to play on a roof
.

Happy Birthday SC, and welcome to the downhill slope

You're only a baby SC, merely a whippersnapper (whatever that is). Have a lovely day building roofs, don't forget to write your name and date on a bit of superstructure or concrete to commerate the event. 'SC WOZ 'ERE' will do.
Happy birthday. I hope Bob's cooking tonight

A whip-snapper was a seventeenth-century term for a young man with nothing better to do than to hang about idly snapping a whip. Whippersnapper is one of those rare terms that has a somewhat literal origin.

Thanks for the birthday wishes and cake and great idea (JJB)
. I got lots of lovely prezzies. A very random selection from a Moroccan bathroom sink, to a bag of marbles. And 2 lovely metal artwork things one for outside, one for inside.
Bob did cook tea
. It was the only way he was going to eat , because I wasn’t going to do it .
