HAPPY BITHDAY STEW!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING, you are so loved by all of us.

I am taking him out to dinner this evening, just a quiet one at Lone Star for us.  

ABOVE:  a little collage of photos that I forgot from yesterday.  I just LOVE the waters around the Mount.

Now, a little story.

I found a small maiden hair fern that had been thrown in the bin at the Rest Home I worked for 2.5 years ago.  It appeared DEAD, but I took it home, hoping I could save it.

And save it I did!

It grew and grew and was doing really well.

Then I moved it to the front door area.  Put it on top of the new shoe rack didn't I?

And I promptly forgot it was there.

And it 'died' ... all dry and crackling.  

So, I chopped all the dead/dry foliage off, and watered it... and prayed for it to revive again.

This one is now on to it's 3rd!

I will try extra hard to keep it alive this time around!

Apart from going out to dinner, there are no firm plans for today.

Probably swim a few times, hang out and try to keep cool.

SBB's will no doubt pop in at least twice for a swim too.

ABOVE:  Whatever it was in the sky last night...had colour.  I upsized the last photo I got of it.. and it showed colour.  Stew said he saw colour too.  I was too busy taking photos to look at it properly myself.

I will check out the news and see who else saw it and knows what it was.

SOLVED.  It was a satellite of Elon Musk's.  Bringing high speed internet to the masses.  Eventually.  Seems there's over 1,700 of them up there already!  

We stayed in bed until 8.30, no hurry to get up obviously.  It's bliss.

First death in the family for 2022.  One of the goldfish died.

I think the pond just got too hot.   I keep topping it up, but it's still very hot and evaporates quite quickly.

Stew washed his car.

Did a little grocery shop.

Bought a birthday cake, which we are having a piece of for afternoon tea!

I've been in and out of the pool all day.  Lay in the sun for a little while.

SBBs came over after lunch for a swim, gave Stew a birthday present:

Stew is some.  Definitely my some.

This has to be the quietest birthday in a very long time.  Just the two of us for most of the day!  You would NEVER know we had a multitude of kids and grandkids.

OMG..  has no one but me noticed?????

There is no R in BIRTHDAY on my title for today!!!!

HAPPY BITHDAY STEW! LOL

ABOVE:  a couple of nice photos of Stew and I. Our dinner was lovely, you can always rely on Lone Star to serve up a decent dinner.

Time to sign off and just relax.  Catch ya tomorrow.
