A Very Special Day
Something very special happened to me this morning. This is something that happened only sixty two times before today. I became one day older. At 2:10 AM this morning (GMT-2) on this 23rd day of February (for the first time in my life
) I turned 63. 
Yes, I know that most of you already wished me on Saturday, which technically was a false alarm but a dear friend here in Blogland was not sure if she would be able to wish me today so she though it prudent to do it on Saturday. This blog is only to set the record straight re my actual birth date and to thank each of you for the early well wishes.
I’ll had a late breakfast with some of my friends (thanks Hans) and will be entertained by the other at one of their homes for the rest of the day and early evening where we plan to make merry and to grill two large snoek (baracuta – not baracuda) on a bed of charcoal in the process.
I expect to be home by 9 PM and I will drop in for a few minutes if I am not too ‘tired’.
May your day be as wonderful as my day promises to be.

Was that a typo....
Happy Birthday, Mate....
....
Thank you very much. It came on less than five minutes after you phoned.
Must run now. Very late for my own party.
I think that look... is `DON`T EVEN THINK ABOUT STEALING THIS CAKE ... DREAMER`
Happy happy birthday to you...
Enjoy your day.
Mag jou dag bevange wees en moet asseblief nie matigheid voor oe hou nie
Just for you!
Veels geluk lieve maatjie,
Omdat jy verjaar.
Laat die Here jou seen,
En nog baie jare spaar!
Happy birthday dear friend,
Because it's your birthday.
May the Lord bless you
With many more years!
Thank you very much.
And I won't even dream of stealing that cake. It's a new year and a new leaf for me.
Thank you very much. It sure was a grand day.
Believe me when I say that I did not do anything that would not have done. I believe the sky was the limit.
Thank you very much. And the best news is that I did not start smoking again.
It was parties like this that normally got me started again in the past.
It was a great time. I should clutch out like that more often.
Thank you, it is very kind of you.
thank you man, that was just great.
I must be getting too old for parties now. This one left me exhausted.
Thank you so much. And now I have to adapt to my new age. I suppose I must dress a bit more conservative as well.
Baie dankie. Gelukkig is dit nou verby.
And thanks to you as well. And now I must find something for my headache.
Thank you. But I can tell you that the way I feel today I don't want to see another birthday for at least a year.
