Thanks for all your birthday messages. It was surprising how many people said Happy Birthday. I discovered some new readers which is excellent. I got a chair, a Liverpool FC T-shirt and a Hanshin Tigers birthday cake. My family called from England to wish me happy birthday and the dog was so loud I stroked it to quieten it. Of course unused to so much attention he took this as a form of foreplay, wrapped his front legs around my leg and proceeded to hump my leg. A quite unwanted birthday present.
