It’s Happy Birthday to Robin today, another year older but still hale and hearty and enjoying life. After all – he’s not that old! We started off the day with sautéed mushrooms on toast for breakfast, then he opened up his birthday cards and a couple of gifts. The presents covered the necessities of life, he said, a large jar of home made pickled onions, a pack of his favourite Tui beer, and a large quantity of chocolate! What more could a man want on his birthday?
Happy Birthday to Robin
Actually, there was something else he wanted, and he has been waiting years and years. As he keeps reminding me every birthday. Each year, he trots out the story of one particular birthday quite some time ago when I had promised him a home made carrot cake, but didn’t get around to making it. Why? Who knows, that part of the story is lost in the mists of time after all these years. So finally, this birthday he finally gets his wish. Here it is at last, a carrot cake with cream cheese icing,
He’s been waiting a long time for this
There’s another birthday gift coming, but he has to buy it for himself. That way he will get exactly what he wants. Robin wants (needs) a new battery drill and has been checking out possibilities and different brands. He’s whittled the choices down and we now need to travel to a larger town to make the purchase.
