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.

A present for Rufus?? But I have nothing for him!
shhh don't tell Rufus but I have been round the flea markets and found an old zither, have been practising 'Waltzing Matilda' so I hope you will all join in singing with gusto!!

Back to the footie in a minute - it's half-time wittering at the moment.

Hi folks this is my gift to Rufus for tomorrow. Hope he likes it.

Anagram 3 words.

Oh NanKate - what is it? I am rubbish with anagrams. I can make out Rufus and goal? But not right as it leaves me with spare letters - oh dear - I’ve just watched too much footy today ??????? ⚽️

NanKate Sat 07-Jul-18 22:03:06

Well Waterloo I want to give Rufus a chance of working out what his present is, I will however be giving clues tomorrow.

Waterloosunset Sat 07-Jul-18 22:17:46

Oh yes, of course, sorry ..... jumping the gun. Too much champagne ..... ?

Stone the Crows: Not another Birthday!?

All together now:

"I'm 91 to-day, 91 to-day!
I've got the key of the door!
Never been 91 before!

My Carer says I can do what I can,
As long as I'm home by half-past four,
So shout hip, hip, hooray,
For he's a jolly good fellow,
91 to-day.!"

"With apologies to you all!" blush

wine brew cupcake wine brew cupcake wine

I'm being very good! Used up 5 hours of my birthday already (1.00p.m.) and not touched a drop (yet) nor the sausage rolls or pies. grin
Where are you all? Still fast asleep, I suppose, after post-match celebrations.
Well done Poms and here's to the next round! Croatia eh!? hmm
Catch you later.

Happy birthday rufus! It's 4.13 here in Scotland. I'm propped up and wide awake. I'm waving my TED clad legs at you. Have a great day.

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

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

Happy Birthday Rufus.flowers

See you soon. I'm on my way xx

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.

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 06:45:05

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.
