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.

NanKate Sun 08-Jul-18 08:15:05

A pleasure Panache. We have both opted for purple.

NanKate Sun 08-Jul-18 08:14:08

Yes folks I have got Rufus a life size jigsaw of Uluru ( Ayre’s Rock). I wonder if he has scaled those rocks. It is not allowed now.

Just having my Weetabix then will be ready to start the Disco. First request from Cavewoman for almost getting the answer to the anagram. However I am happy to take any more requests from partygoers.

I will be playing soon ‘Let’s get this party going’ by ???

Anymore anagrams knocking about.

Wishing our Rufus a very happy 91st with all the trimmings a man of this great age deserves!!

As for my party dress I have an organza purple jump suit with Bardot top and culotte bottoms to show off my beautifully bronzed decolette and legs to the best advantage............always a winner with the men!!!

I shall come with a well wrapped up crate of bubbly to help get the party off to a swing!!

Thanks Kate for the invite!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUFUS!!!

I’m all glammed up and waiting for the taxi. (Staying at the Langham - do you know it?). I’ll have a go at that anagram while I’m waiting.

ginny Sun 08-Jul-18 07:14:20

Happy Birthday Rufus !

NanKate Sun 08-Jul-18 06:45:05

Anyone can join in the anagram game. The first person who gets it right can choose the first record at the Disco. ?

Another clue when I have finished my cuppa.

NanKate Sun 08-Jul-18 06:42:10

The party officially starts at 8.00am UK so no alcohol till then folks.

?☕️? Breakfast first.

Rufus do your sons know you are about to have a very noisy party with a whole load of glamorous grans and nans ?

NanKate Sun 08-Jul-18 06:38:07

Well the BIG day has arrived in the UK.

A very Happy 91st Birthday Rufus from a very sunny and hot Buckinghamshire ?

Now have you worked out yet what your birthday gift is from me ?

This is a 3 word anagram
6 letters then 2 letters then 5 letters
First clue it is a game or pastime.

Happy Birthday Rufus.flowers

See you soon. I'm on my way xx

Rufus2 Sun 08-Jul-18 05:55:30

It's 4.13 here in Scotland. I'm propped up and wide awake

Wow Jane! You're an early bird, but I guess the sun never sets up in Bonnie Scotland at this time of year.! smile
Any chance of turning your camera around to show the more interesting end of you?
But don't worry; I'm not going show my tootsies. [grin
Many thanks for Birthday Wishes
Good Health

Birthday Cards
Good Morning All GNs on this significant 8th. day, as marked on my Calendar. wink

Whoopee! now have 3 cards; two from two sons and their families and one from my Home Carer Group.!
But why does "OLD" have to figure each birthday?
For example; I quote from one!

"OK, you're a year OLDER and older than you've ever been BEFORE. But you're a year YOUNGER than you'll be this time next year, and in fact, YOUNGER than you'll ever be again.
Did you follow all that?
Good; at least you're MIND is still WORKING!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY."

Of course, every word is a different colour in order to emphasise the point and I suppose it's at least nice to know they have a sense of humour, macabre as it might seem to some. smile
Hope I'm around to see next year's card. grin
Talk to you when you're up and about; I might even have a cup of virtual tea, or whatever, ready for you, but "Rug Up", it's cold and wet again. sad
Btw NanKate. Thanks for the "present"; I think the suggestion of "Rufus" might be a red herring , but we'll find out! confused
Ooroo
