Meanwhile, I am not feeling very well. Too much ice-cream? Too much sun?? Or maybe it's the realisation that I am now a lady of a certain age???? And that next year it will be a very BIG birthday.
In recent times I appear to have fallen off the internet; I still lurk to see what my old blogging buddies and Facebook friends are doing, but I feel quiet and haven't got a lot to say for myself. I don't even feel the desire to slap up any posts on my calligraphy blog even though I have been busy working on stuff for a friend... maybe this is the problem - my brain has been engaged with work... crikey... after years of being a lazy baggage I have finally hit upon the joys of work. And in the evenings, I am tired. I stop. And sometimes I look at my old Blogrol and this advert springs to mind....
I hope this is the right advert, as I haven't got any sound on my PC...
Anyhow, for the time being, I feel buggy and I feel odd. And, if anyone wants to know - I haven't seen any stray aeroplanes... and no, I don't know what's going to happen in Crimea, but it's all very worrying.

No don't worry about your thirteenth birthday next year......
Happy Birthday for this year tho'
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
You are awful, but I like you :-)

As you get older every birthday becomes a BIG one. :D Happy Birthday to you!
I feel buggy and odd too. Glad the sun shined on you and you got to eat ice cream.
There must be a bug about Joey, I am feeling better this afternoon.
My next birthday is a huge birthday. I lied when I started this blog... I knocked a few years off my age...According to unofficial records I started this blog when I was 35... 15 years ago... but, this isn't quite right??!!!
Sx
Sorry your IT stopped - you'll have more time to have a life!
Best wishes, N
Mr Nikos! (exclamation mark because we have been out of touch) I just need to make my brain start again. It has gone a bit flopsy.
Sx
Lots of people have hardly blogged recently, you're in good company. Belated birthday greetings, darling.
Thank you, Z!
I really don't know where the time goes... one minute my blog reader tells me I have 12 unread blog posts to read, the next it's up to 200 and 4 weeks have zapped by. I seem to be growing hazy minded as I get older and I walk around in a mist of vagueness. I must sort it out.
Sx
(Belated) Happy Birthday! If it was clam ice cream, that might explain it!
PS: I feel so buggy I may have termites.
Happy Birthday! I know that feeling of not knowing what to post and being busy and feeling as if you're neglecting visiting friends. I've been that way lately, too. I've just been so busy, but not in a blog way that I can really think of anything interesting to say about it. I guess it happens to a lot of us.
Happy Happy Birthday, of course the sun shone for you. Glad that work is rewarding and hope you feel better soon xxxox
We also went to the coast this week. Without hats and coats! It's the end of the world I tells us! I had my big birthday three years ago, you'se are still a little kid. :)

Happy Birthday. The ice cream gave you more than a brain freeze?
So the hazy shade of winter finally stopped?
Down by the river side there's bound to a better ride than what you got planned.
Hang on to your hopes my friend.
Oh piffle! You're still quite a long way from any birthdays with *really* serious noughts attached. I hope whatever little bugger is bothering you is burned away by sunshine. Have another ice cream!Cheers. xx
See ! You just step out and the sun shines !
Oh my gosh, glorious scene...Padstow looks so cool! Thinks its a good thing to be wrapped up in work!
"I don't want to grow old" I hear people say. Well you know the alternative. Happy belated birthday Scarlet! You are as old as the man that you feel. I wish you hadn't mentioned aeroplanes. I'm due to go on one in a few hours time, I said to my mother this morning, if anything should happen to the plane and the media come calling on you for an interview, remember, champagne blonde hair tint and FULL make-up including false eyelashes and wear something classy, like that leopard print and roses top I bought for you, and if they ask for a picture of me whatever you do don't give em that photo of me chewing a toffee, I look like I've had a stroke. Oh it is a worry.
Mr Lax: Clam ice cream?? I don't think we have this delicacy in the UK!
I think I have termites too.

Mr Buttocks: This is exactly how it is! I am busy... but, as yet, I haven't found an interesting way of writing about it. I work on my own and my company is the television and the radio. On the radio they are talking about evidence of the Big Bang... I probably couldn't write about this in an informed way!
Sx
Lulu: The weather was very kind to me... it's usually cold and blustery... this year I almost got sunburn. Wonderful!
Sx
Mr Cheen: I know! I went out without a coat - it felt very naughty - indeed, I can still feel like a little kid when going without a coat is still exciting!
Sx
Mr Bill: I think Winter is going to return at the end of next week, for one last shout... and then I have high hopes of a glorious summer.
Sx
Dinah: Too kind! Once I get into my next decade I'm sure I will be fine... it's just, well, the hot flush thing and the weird changes that I'm not looking forward to.
Sx
Mr Mags: I'll have to step out more often! It did feel like summer. Almost flip-flop weather.
Sx
Jody: Yes, it is good to be wrapped up in work, but I must remember to pop up for air every now and again... I miss my blog chums.
Sx
Happy birthday, Scarlett, from tired old Minneapolis, where we've decided that winter is our FAVORITE and no use in indulging any of those other silly seasons. I'm glad that you got blue skies -- now if you'll just shoo them westward?
Pearl
Mitzi: I thought I had the only leopard print and roses top! I have a photo of my mum chewing on a toffee... it's not one I'd offer to the media.
Sx
Pearl: Mr Blue has visited Minneapolis, some years back, I would be completely useless in such cold weather. I'd take my hat off to you... but I don't want my ears to get cold :-)

Habby burf day *hic*
Big number. Feh. What is a big number? Make nothing of it. Keep creating art and filling this space and you'll be FINE.
You need a break, that's all. The break is imposing itself on you. The wheel will turn. You'll see.
Happy sunny Birthday Ms S., you youngster! I may be emigrating sometime this year so I'll need a dose of Devon peace and sunshine soon, especially if my Crimea holiday happens!
What a beautiful picture! I love the colorful houses and boats. The water looks peaceful and the skies are a beautiful shade of happy blue and lightly painted with sparse, white clouds. Thank you for sharing a lovely photo.
Cheers!

I don't mind you having birthdays. It just means we get to share your lovely, wonderful, talented company for a whole other year. And I wish you much sunshine, happiness, and many more years of good food, good friends, and good times! You've always been a certain kind of lady: A classy and talented and fabulous one!
Happy Birthday!
It's not nice feeling buggy and I also find work interferes with blogging and other things. Just heard I missed an appointment this afternoon and I almost missed the garden rubbish on Tuesday. Even writing everything down isn't enough when stretched.
It'll get better. Won't it?
Ack... my replies have stopped working. Silly iPad.
I'll do this comment and then see if they'll work.
Sx
I am always on a break, Mr Pain! I am taking steps to improve the situation. Which means I will need to go shoe shopping.
Sx
I will worry if you go to the Crimea.... but if you do go you will be our frontline reporter!
You are always welcome here.... I'd try and talk you out of emigrating whilst envying your spirit for adventure.
Sx
You are too kind, Mr Swings!!! I am flushing... I think it's due to being flattered and not due to wonky hormones... I can but hope.
Sx
Pat... I have to set alarms for bin day... and green waste day... and simply to get me up in the morning. I am frantically writing lists... and setting alarms to remind me to read them. I am determined to conquer my distracted mind.
Sx
Padstow looks glorious - I often eat ice-cream on my birthday but until you said, I had never spared a thought for those of you whose birthday doesn't fall mid-summer....gosh, I feel chastened.
I'm already bloody old so have no sympathy at all for you feeling old but do hope you're feeling better now. I am a bit bored with the bloggy thing though am trying to keep up with everyone's doings and things, cos I haven't stopped loving you all really. I just can't stop Zentangling long enough to get involved...
Axxx
Hope you are feeling better now and is the big birthday 30 or 40 - you look as fresh and dewy as ever
My apologies for missing your birthday.
I would have baked a cake.
Zentangling and calligraphy are both relaxing when you get into the zone! I understand completely. I am trying very hard to make time for blogging as well... or at least commenting!
Sx
Where have you been????!!! Gadding about all over the place no doubt... upsetting the nuns and stealing over ripened bananas?!
Sx
Jody: I am feeling a little better... thankfully this old avatar covers a multitude of sins. It will be a very BIG birthday!
Sx
Un très joyeux anniversaire... en retard!
Hope the nice weather is there to stay. Here... well... snowbanks have yet to melt.
I love those seaside towns. So picturesque and friendly. If I ever go to England, I'll sure spend most of my stay in these quaint little towns.
Hugs
Jon
Flying in here in a slipstreamy way on the back of the birthday Hog. All of which means a bright and breezy (belated) (Padstow) birthday to you, rougest of missuses.
I'm afraid that since the demise of Google reader, all my links have done a Brucie.
But I'm fixed now.
I know what you mean about falling off the internet. Every time I go on Facebook it's a blog post that won't happen - or something like that. I mostly hate Facebook but I can't seem to escape it.
I'm glad you're still around here, anyway!
