    Happy birthday @Huia. It was my 70th a couple of weeks ago, and I feel exactly the same.

    My next door neighbour just popped in with a carrot cake for my birthday - she was away yesterday. I will have to take it to the library where I volunteer tomorrow, otherwise I won't fit my clothes anymore.
  • Happy birthday!

    Happy belated birthday Huia.
  • HuiaHuia Shipmate
    Thanks everyone. It was a wonderful birthday. I heard from two of my brothers and my nephew, as well as friends., and my next door neighbour baked a carrot cake. My oldest brother has Parkinsons and is in care, so I sent him a card. I miss his cards. He had difficulty expressing himself in words, but he spent time and thought choosing the best cards and I miss his ability to do that now.
  • Glad to hear it was a good birthday, but isn't it a weird feeling to be the same age as old people?
  • HuiaHuia Shipmate
    Totally - I don't feel like I'm that old.

    Today would have been Robert Armin's birthday. I know everybody has their allotted span and all that, but I wish he could still be here.
  • The continuing bonds of friendship remain, despite the impact of time. hugs to you.

    Although not a Shippie, a shout-out to my big brother, who turned 70 today (how am I old enough to have a brother who's 70???).

  • Labor Day in the US. Remember, the Union Makes Us Strong!!!
  • 9/11. 22 years, not forgotten.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Indeed.
  • Nor by us here.
  • HuiaHuia Shipmate
    Nor by me. I didn't have a phone at that time but someone at the Cathedral where I was a volunteer) allowed me to make a phone call to check on my brother.

    (this was after I'd walked out of the Cathedral cafe without paying, because my mind was in New York.)

    Today is the 130th anniversary of women's suffrage in Aotearoa/NZ,

    I was out in my garden picking white camelias (the symbol chosen by the suffragists) at 7 a.m so I can drop off a bunch at the electorate office of my M.P. The first woman elected to Parliament was elected in my electorate. so the current M.P, also a woman, is following in her footsteps.

    Well done. At the last Federal election here, our electorate saw a woman running as an independent come in second with about 20% of the first preferences and well ahead of the Labor candidate. After distribution of preferences, she still came in second and the Liberal candidate's margin was reduced very substantially.
  • HuiaHuia Shipmate
    The M.P's office was closed, so I will drop some white camelias in tomorrow.

    Four years ago today I had to say my last farewells to David. :heartbreak:

    Rest in peace, my love.
