Our Birthday Celebrations

When I was 60 or thereabouts I went with an elite gathering to a local pub having beforehand taken in my printed invitation to show the management; to keep them informed.  You may have guessed the invitation was not average and I mentioned that I had invited Tom Conti, the bar maid was aghast that I knew Tom and when I explained that I did not know him she wanted to know why I had invited him?

Veronica and I usually celebrate our birthdays twice, once with family and then together – I think her 60 something birthday was when I was teaching her to crotchet and we got thrown out of the pub.

Perhaps this year we should have a restrained birthday?
