Happy birthday, Martine, and many, many happy returns of the day. I'm so busy right now, that I forgot to check my list of birthdays!

Mary in Tucson said...

Happy Birthday! Hope the retirement planning is going well.

Hi Chm, Thank you! I hope you are well and preparing your annual trip to and stay in France. I'm moving to a new apartment next month. More to come ...

Hi Mary, All the red-tape has been taken care of. Another 12 to 14 months to go ... Thank you for asking and for the kind birthday wishes.

AS Clint Eastwood would say "make my day!" hope you enjoy your special day and the weather cooperates with a nice warm and clear spring day. Happy Birthday!!

Hi Bob, Thank you for your kind wishes and sticking around when I tend to neglect my blog. All the best to you and Pat!

Welcome to the club, Martine. I was 60 in October and so far...
Joyeux anniversaire and hope to see you in the Loire valley very soon xx

Thank you Gaynor. I'm still struggling a bit with this new 'front door' nbr 6 instead of nbr 5 ;) No travel plans this year though - sorry - as I have another important matter to deal with in the coming weeks ...

Belated birthday greetings and best wishes for the future to come: there IS life after retirement!

ladybird said...

Thank you Patrick. I guess you're used to your new life by now ... I'm looking forward to it too, trust me ;)

Belated Happy Birthday, hope it was a good one. Cheers Diane

ladybird said...

Hello Diane, Thank you! It was a quiet and relaxing day, with a nice bottle of bubbles, birthday cards, text messages and a phone call from an old-time friend who lives in Sweden ... oh, and a good police thriller for company!

Carolyn said...

Happy birthday, Martine, a week late.

We do miss you when you don't blog! But if you're happy and busy, that's what's important.

Hi Carolyn, Thank your for the birthday wishes! I want to take up blogging again, but life is very busy right now ... with my upcoming move!!! I hope to be back once I'm settled in (unpacked) and my internet connection is operational ... Till then!
