i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

I've been getting stronger slowly over time it seems, @Jacques. I imagine it would be great that you and K can speak on the phone now.

yes thank you, it has taken over a year for us to get our anxiety under control to talk on the phone, we talk every night on txt. we both have ups and downs, but support and love each other unconditionally

So good, @Jacques. 
I wonder where @Kurra has wandered off to, and @Shaz51. Time for another drink?

Happy birthday @Kurra. I've been out to dinner with my kidults. Trying to organise a time and place that suits everyone can be a bit difficult. It all came together though. We had a lovely night at an Indian restaurant. The boys went for "hot" meals, the girls, medium. The food was delicious. Not too late a night because of early morning starts.
Hope you are enjoying the party @Kurra. The food looks delicious @Shaz51. You have excelled but I don't think I can fit in another bite. Perhaps I can grab a doggy bag. And the entertainment is great.

@Kurra, the celtic fiddlers should really have been described as 'passionate fiddlers', back on page 509. But it's been a big day for you by the sounds of it. Birthday hugs to you before you head off to bed. I hope you have a good birthday week.
