PageTurner - Happy Birthday to you too!!! It's not so bad being 70 - I can now speak with the voice of experience!
The party was wonderful - I slung down some painkillers and danced/limped my way through. The 7 GC were wonderful - everyone kept commenting on how lovely they all were - they joined in all the dancing with such gusto from the 3 year old to the 15 year old, and were on the dance floor all evening non-stop, and charmed everyone with their sense of fun. Life has chucked a few wobblers at us, but these lovely member of the next generation keep up our spirits.
DDs had organised wonderful things - a cake, hand made cards from the children, lots of jelly "babies" (actually jelly geriatrics! - very amusing) and the most wonderful present - high tea with them all followed by tickets to a choral concert that I will love for sure - just my kind of thing!
I was awake till 2.30 as OH, who did manage to come and sit in a corner, didn't feel too well - but he is OK this morning.
