Well I believe it is Rufus2 91st on the 8th. We are holding an impromptu virtual party for him. All you need to do is say what you are bringing or doing and what you will wear.

Rufus has promised to be on his best behaviour ?

I will be DJing and wearing a rather fetching sparkly purple jump suit. And before you ask Rufus you can't come in your Birthday suit, this is a respectable party.

Over to you.

Well Rufus,
It's going to be a whale of a party, I have a surprise for you and it involves seven veils. wink
The whale bit refers to when the veils are discarded. Some have said I resemble a beached whale! grin.
I may decide to retain some of the veils, ( in fact I may have to double the number of whales) as at your grand old age, we need to be mindful of your blood pressure. shock

Seeing as how Rufus2 is in the middle of winter and the night....the party will be starting early....is it ok to have cake for breakfast?

Rufus2 Thu 05-Jul-18 15:07:57

what you will wear.
in a very posh frock, jewels and Tiara,
Let’s have a double party Ann I am sure Rufus won’t mind

Awesome! Is there any way to post "the way you look tonight" pics?
And it's a shame Ann, we can't make our appearance hand in hand to cheers of acclamation and the singing of Happy Birthday! Sadly, I won't be able to walk you home, but seems like I won't be fit enough to do any sort of walking afterwards! sad
And with all the "livewires" attending I'll be at risk of blowing a fuse! Never mind, I'm only 91 once. grin
I used to think I was immortal, but now I'm not so sure.
I've given NanKate another item for my play list; Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen, (any Samanthas coming?)
So start brushing up your jiving techniques. grin

Well! It's nearly midnight and don't know how I'm going to sleep with all this excitement.

Catch up tomorrow. Goodnight and Good Health

Eglantine......sorry blush

ninathenana Thu 05-Jul-18 14:49:50

NanKate I'm off to practice my curtsy
Elgatine lovely outfit.
Just had a 'ding' moment. I will bring Kentish strawberries too.

NonnaW Thu 05-Jul-18 14:43:38

I’ll bring the party poppers and blowers. I’ll be wearing my wedding dress (no, not the big white affair, an elegant silk dress which I wore for my second wedding).

NanKate Thu 05-Jul-18 14:28:29

Love the outfit Eglantine this is definitely turning into a posh party.

Someone by the name of Meghan left a message on my phone asking for an invite. She said her new husband might come too but we must keep our hands off him as he tends to be good with old folk, children and corgis.?

NanKate Thu 05-Jul-18 14:22:10

Cherrytree have you started drinking already ??

All the birthday girls and boys are invited.

Cherrytree59 Thu 05-Jul-18 14:11:13

DanniRae Thu 05-Jul-18 14:07:41

Eglantine21 Thu 05-Jul-18 14:04:17

Wish to say Iwas much thinner than that looks!!!!{

bikergran Thu 05-Jul-18 14:01:45

I shall bring the Vodka jellies..... must make extra this time for those that always overindulge

Eglantine21 Thu 05-Jul-18 13:58:32

Well the hat is in store, because I’m moving soon but think matching the jacket, flowers and all.

Pity I’ve photographed it hanging against the toilet door.......

Blinko Thu 05-Jul-18 13:44:28

Sounds like fun. Can anybody come?

MawBroon Thu 05-Jul-18 13:40:56

Love that cake!
Love the sound of annsixty’s outfit (cant beat a white trouser IMHO)
Count me in, please smile As cake, fizz and candles seem to be sorted, perhaps some sossies to fling on the barbie? (Regardless of season)
Or a tinny or two?

annsixty Thu 05-Jul-18 13:35:33

Photograph please Eglantine

annsixty Thu 05-Jul-18 13:34:20

Wow is all I can say.
As somebody once said about children, I don't think I can eat a whole one. But I can try.

Eglantine21 Thu 05-Jul-18 13:34:07

Oh, oh, it’s my birthday too. All the best people are born n July!!!!

I am wearing the ultra posh outfit I bought for sons wedding that I will otherwise never wear again.

And before anybody says anything it was a very, very posh wedding......

Oopsadaisy53 Thu 05-Jul-18 13:31:10

annsixty I knocked you up a quick sponge do you like it?

Oopsadaisy53 Thu 05-Jul-18 13:22:29

nankate you can sing what you like at the end, I doubt I will be upright enough to hear you!

Happy returns in advance Annsixty same day as my DD1, I’ll raise a glass or 3 to you.....

Are we having party games? I can hitch me frock up if necessary .....

LaraGransnet (GNHQ) Thu 05-Jul-18 13:15:48

Cake! Gransnet will supply cake (and candles?) for Rufus and AnnSixty and anyone else who has a July birthday. We're quite partial to our all-in-one chocolate cake, but happy to take requests. grin cupcake

annsixty Thu 05-Jul-18 13:14:47

Thank you.
My new top has been delivered but I haven't tried it on yet.

NanKate Thu 05-Jul-18 13:11:57

Let’s have a double party Ann I am sure Rufus won’t mind.

cavewoman Thu 05-Jul-18 12:57:16

I will provide the bunting. Union Jack of course.

NanKate Thu 05-Jul-18 12:04:12

You will look a treat Oops as QE2 in fact bring a bit of class to the occasion. Shall we sing ‘God Save the Queen’ at the end ?
