I give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.

Thank you Pete, best birthday in a long time. Although I can't really say much in public. But think family, food. Lovely.
Edited because spelling and typing are both up the creek this morning.

Our dear friend WW would be most disappointed if I didn't pop in at this point with an Opinion. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
IMHO, streaky bacon (which sadly is the norm around these parts) is only fit for covering roasting chickens to stop the breast-meat drying out, or as the basis for bacon, lentil and tomato soup.
While we were home, we scoffed as much Proper Bacon™ as we could get our hands on.

I did see a mention of it on Facebook, but didn't think about it again until I saw Mamacita's post on the Prayer thread.

I'd like to ask Shipmates to join Mrs TonyK and me in celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary on Saturday 23rd September.
I'd buy all of you a drink, but technology (and my bank balance!) preclude this option - but should you be indulging in alcoholic (or other) liquor on this day, please remember us...
--------------------
Yours aye ... TonyK

How wonderful! Best wishes to you both from Sydney and I will join you later on. Breakfast has just passed, so a bit early, but a G&T later this afternoon in heat will be welcome.

Many congratulations! I just had a glass of wine in your honour, which I think qualifies given that it's Saturday in the UK.

I'd like to mark the 100th birthday of Dr. Francis Jackson, organist-emeritus of York Minster, composer and gentleman.
I suppose I'll have to leave him off my Celebrity Death Pool list now ...

We mentioned Francis Jackson's centenary in church on Sunday. We were singing one of his tunes, and my husband, the organist, refused to start playing till I remembered to announce it!

Today is the thirtieth anniversary of my husband's death. He died from the result of a freak accident. Our daughters were teenagers at the time.
Life goes on and you go with it. I enjoy life, but when I see elderly couples together, I think how lucky they are.

My parents had little money and less inclination to send us to the”pictures” at the local picture show every Saturday afternoon. So I had had little experience of films till my year at High School went to the local theatre, old even then to see Olivier in Henry V It was a revelation to me at the time. So thanks for raising those memories, Piglet.

Happy anniversary sweetie
On Sunday will be Master S and the Lovely Girlfriend's first anniversary, and back on the 12th it was The Former Miss S and SiL's 4th. October is our month for weddings
Mrs. S, rejoicing

Several dates are given for Black Cat Day. This is one of them and I remember George one of them. A very definite character, much set in his ways and views.
