It’s Claudine’s birthday again, happy birthday, Claud 🎂🥳🎁🎈! I first wished her a happy birthday in 2022, and every year since. Time sure flies, yes? Cheers to many more to come!

A very dear friend of mine is turning 70. I have known him for more than half of his life and, yet, I don’t know what to get him on his birthday. I am at a loss! See, he is one of those for whom shopping is very difficult. He is not that into technology. He doesn’t use Apple products. He doesn’t wear watches, nor any kind of jewelry. Ugh! So hard! I only have two months—barely!—to choose, shop, and ship.

From George this morning on a message, as he told me “I was patiently waiting for the day 😂”. It went like this: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret!” You know from where that one comes, right? 😬😅😂

It is Horsie’s birthday today. This is the first time I mention about Horsie’s birthday here, which I find odd, somehow. Anyway, celebrations start now, as she has left the bed 😂.

Yesterday was Claudine birthday and, even though I reached out to congratulate her, I didn’t make a note here as I have done on previous years. But never too late!

Happy birthday, Claud! 🎂🥳🎁 May you celebrate many more in good health, and happiness, surrounded by your loved ones! I also wish you a quick recovery from what ails you now. ❤️🌹

🎉 Happy birthday, Claudine! It has already been a year, eh?! Cheers to many more to come, and wishing you the very best, always!

Mum is 79 years old today. Wow! I know it is not a super advanced age, but I wish I could get to her age, with her health.

Happy birthday, Claudine! 🎂🥳 May you celebrate many, many, many-many more in good health and happiness! ❤️🌹
