Another missed birthday. Louise - Kenneth's girlfriend, is 20 today - Happy Birthday!!
We have always lived near each other, unknowingly, and Louise and Kenneth were in the same nursery class at the age of 3, but don't really remember each other. They started going out with each other in their final year of High School, and now both are heading into their 3rd year at different Universities in Edinburgh. Louise is studying Psychology and Sociology and Kenneth is doing Chemistry. She is a lovely, lovely girl.
And so, with all these birthdays going on so far away, James felt as if he was missing out. He suddenly announced yesterday that it was Shark's birthday at 2 o'clock! As it was well after 1 by this time, there was no time to make a cake, so we improvised with party ring biscuits. Shark looks pretty happy with the result I reckon.
In fact it was really quite a jolly party. Every time the candle was blown out, a biscuit was eaten. It was amazing how quickly those biscuits disappeared - they are certainly very more-ish.
And so, guess how old Shark was yesterday? Sixty-seven! Who knew? I really must find out his secret...
I will be hosting a little giveaway on the next post to celebrate my three-hundredth post, so please remember to look out for that. xx
Shark looks very happy- What a great celebration!
ReplyDeleteKenneth-Say Happy Birthday to Louise!!

ReplyDeleteOh that is so sweet. I love party rings!XXX
ReplyDeleteJust when you thought it was safe to go into the kitchen...
ReplyDeleteI'll bet there was a biccy eaten for each year :-) Got a web cam on you, you know!!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, each time I log onto your blog I have toenail envy! Haven't painted mine in years, but when I see your coloured tootsie tops I think: 'LOVELY!'
Happy Birthday to all, I meant to post on your previous blog about the show - it looks a great day out and I love your prizewinning photos x
ReplyDeleteLol V- you must do this for camp - it will be barefoot weather all week! (sigh)
ReplyDeleteMeggs , Thank you - I am sure he will.
Chris - lol - shark is very involved in every activity, so luckily he is a friendly guy.
Thank you everybody - of course now that it 2 cakes to catch up on...xx
Happy birthday to Louise, too!
ReplyDeleteAnd Shark is looking fabboo for 67! Definitely a happy birthday wish for him, too.
That is so precious.
ReplyDelete@Calling Ravens helllo! my reply button thingy worked!
ReplyDelete@The Barefoot Crofter not sure if i like it though -
ReplyDeletePlease explain what the button thingy is. I've seen it before (I think on Trish's blog) but it just looks like the at sign. What is it and what is it supposed to do?
ReplyDeleteShe looks lovely...so sweet to celebrate her birthday!
ReplyDeleteThanks Emily,Kate and Angie - it is sweet how their birthdays are close together.
ReplyDeleteMeggs. I thought this reply button thing would allow me to reply to everyone under their individual comments, as in Typepad or Wordpress, instead of doing these huge group replies, and it would be nicer. However, after sitting for far too long last night, adding this code - i managed to get the buttons to work, only to find that it only added an @ sign. Well i could do that myself, so it adds nothing. It has gone now, maybe Blogger will finally get round to adding this function, but until then, I am afraid I will be posting my very long reply comments. xxx
I just love birthdays, looks like James was having loads of fun.

My niece is like you son. When she sees that celebrations are around us she decides to hold a real parties for her dolls too (for example, weddings or birthdays).
ReplyDeleteYou people there on your croft seem to be so beautiful and so *real*. Even Shark seems real ! I got a good smile, and thank you.
ReplyDeletethanks for the laugh. what a delightful post. you have such a wonderful sense of what is important in life. love the party ring idea! (oh and i think your new top header is really lovely; makes me think of summer).
ReplyDeleteHa ha , lovely x Happy Birthday Shark xx
ReplyDeleteI notice while looking at your blog, that you have a piece of work of mine on your wall. Abandoned House, Loch Roag. You must have purchased it recently. Lovely to see it's new home.
ReplyDeleteLol - I am glad Shark has given everyone a smile - he does try to make up for the less savoury antics of some of his relativees.
ReplyDeleteEffi - I had been meaning to email you about the quilt - how lovely that you saw it here - how strange too! We love love love it. I will email you. xx
Ha ha this is such good fun...good idea James :~) Shark looks most happy. Happy belated birthday Louise...she looks beautiful. And how great that the artist saw her work on your wall!! :~)))
