Loyal readers of this lofty blog will no doubt recall that I always take time out from whatever it is I'm doing to remind you when it's MY BIRTHDAY!

And today be the day, gang.

Last year, Charo called and sang Happy Birthday to me on the phone from Los Angeles. This year, things are a little more low key but friends and loved ones (past & present) are coming out of the woodwork. (Lots better than cockroaches or something like that, isn't it, gang???)

Okay, then! Enjoy my day, wherever you are & I'll have a glass on you this evening. See ya, folks!
