I am 70 today!

Post by mkmel » Fri Apr 02, 2021 3:26 am

2nd April 1951 was the day when I came into the World. And 70 years to the day I am here in the Philippines celebrating my 70th Birthday with my Beautiful Filipina 'Wife' Kristine.

Inside my head I still feel like I am in my 30's and my lovely Kristine also helps me feel much younger than what my birth certificate says.

And anyway 70 is the new 21 :D

And today 2nd April my favourite singer of all time the late great Marvin Gaye would have been celebrating his 82nd Birthday!

So here is Marvin singing especially for me on our joint Birth days!

Just seen that you share your birthday with Ashley Westwood, Mel.

He's a few years younger though. ;)

Thanks to everyone who has wished me a Happy Birthday! And I had a lovely Birthday thanks mainly to my amazing and creative Filipina wife Kristine who spent many hours making all of the Birthday decorations by hand using paper and card and tissue paper. Including a large bouquet of flowers made entirely from A4 coloured paper and turning today into a very special Birthday for me! It's right what they say about Filipinas being very caring and loving!

And BenWickes it's been about 33 degrees here with real feel of 38!

Happy Birthday, mel. One of the "Great Survivors" as in you were, I believe, on CM when I discovered it back in 2004 (oh dear where have those years gone?).

Take care,

Steve
