Here is your cake! ;D
Once again the Baker Rob comes through with a frosting treat.
Happy Birthday Willy and I dare say fortunate for us that your cake is not decked out with the proper amount of Spermaceti candles as that level of light intensity (candle power) would blind us all. 8)

Yes and it might burn the internet down.

Happy Birthday Willy.

Thanks to all for all that sent me greetings.
Yesterday! It was a milestone that I never considered reaching when I was a kid. My target then was to get to the year 2000 as then I would have reached the grand 'old age' of 58. But the new century came and went so I carried on with life much the same as before. That is until China got into my blood.
So my three score years and ten have now past. So what do I go for now, a 3/4 of a century or a full ton? (Not talking of women as I passed that total a long, long way back. 8) )
I have played a good innings, had so many good scores, been in the outfield and the gulley. Been stumped a few times and had my middle wicket shattered on several occasions but also had many maiden overs.
I must admit I have been slowing down of late in many things but regrettably in one I have been speeding up. :'( But whilst that aspect is still working at all then I am thankful for that. ;D
So having reached yet another decade in life you can all genuinely say that I am really a grumpy old git.
Now all I can say is that hopefully it will come to you all in time.
Happy Birthday Philip - you have a way to go until you overtake me.

Thanks for the cake Robertt. It was much better than the one I was given last night with a huge 7 0 on it.
Took 15 people out to dinner last night ( my fourth in China) but I can never get over the fact that I have to pay!!!!

Yes. That happened to me last month. Isn't that weird. You have a birthday party and pick up the tab for everything. I did get away with most of the cake and a bottle of wine.

Now that is funny Jason. Happy willy's are what we all hope for. ;D ;D

I got the aerial photo of Willy's candle lighting from his birthday party! ;)

Today is a Happy Willy Day (Thanks Jason for giving me that thought).
Last night my wife found the words ' I am very old' on a my translator. (I was preparing for my 'thank you piece' at my birthday dinner!)
She read this and smiled and then said in perfect English, ' I will love you when your 100'
Just imagine. A women who could put up with me for another 30 years! Just imagine just what a cantankerous old git I could aspire to become by then!
Willy
P.S. I also found that she had replaced the cost of the dinner back to my wallet from her own money as she said I could not pay on such a big occasion. Now that is a loving Chinese Wife.

Hey Willy,
I was just thinking about your experiences on the 5July post. I look back on my own life, stumbling along, doing what I did, some things good..other things not so good. Still I always had this peculiar, this strange innate feeling, as to realize there is something better somewhere, some other place in this world.
Well, whatever we call this life process in the West (stumbling through?), I am beginning to realize the concept of fate, as pure & simple as that may be, may be what presented my Shangri-La. My path crossed with Jing's path...two totally disjointed paths colliding head on. At that one precise moment two paths came together & emerged as one.
I'll settle for fate any day.
Kind of funny...my age of discovery.
