    Seeing as it's a non-event

    Seeing as my birthday (7th August) slipped under the radar, this is what I did:

    It was actaully on Saturday, Geoff (my partner) and I drove 4 hours due west of Sydney, over the Blue Mountians, into country New South Wales. Ending up in Mudgee (I posted about the Anglican church and its rather boring Brindley and Foster here). We spent the weekend with an old friend of mine who took us out for a wonderful dinner on Saturday evening.

    Geoff also gave me a DVD and a bottle of Moet et Chandon, so I'm saving that for a special occasion ... not sure what that might be but I hope it's soon!
    I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God.
    —Albert Einstein.

    Well for goodness sake ... a belated Happy Birthday to you, David.

    We probably missed it as your birthday doesn't show up on the forum calendar.

    (Your profile is set to "hide age and date of birth")

    Happy Belated Birthday David!



    Sounds like you had a great time. Hope the coming year is equally great.

    We wouldn't have missed it if it had shown up on the calendar, David.

    But still, Happy Belated Birthday! Sounds like you had fun.

    I notice, that none of you provided cake or champagn! Hrumph!!

    But seriously, had a nice time and my old bastard's wheelchair is now on a gradually increasing slop towards old-age ... still firmly in control, however.

    It's in your "profile" settings. To get there, click on "User Control Panel", then select "Edit Your Details". Scroll down to the date of birth area, and right below that are your "privacy" options:

    1. Hide age and date of birth,
    2. Display age only
    3. Display only Day and Month,
    4. Display age and full date of birth.
    Click on one of those options, then scroll down to the bottom and click on "Save Changes".
