Birthday Present ๐ŸŽ‚

in #birthday โ€ข 5 years ago

I wasn't expecting much in the way of gifts today but this arrived to my phone this morning and is about all I need for my 41st.

I mean, a condo by the sea, a fast car, and a beautiful wife would also be nice, but I'll take the above and be happy - although sleeping on the settee in the middle of the day, that's so old!


I also got an early morning message from my brother with this emoji ๐Ÿ‘ด, and one from my mother too, thanks mum!

Apart from that though, it's been a quite one, probably the quietest one so far. It's partly my fault, I've not arranged anything and it is cold, wet, and blowing a gale outside - winter birthdays are such a ripoff.

Anyway, if I didn't put anything at all on the chain on the 10th December this year it would feel a bit strange. Next year I'll make more of an effort and who knows, party on the beach?

Aw. What a lovely birthday present.

Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear Asher.
Happy birthday to you!

winter birthdays are such a ripoff

I couldn't agree more. In fact I got so pissed off with it I changed things a few years ago. Now I get cards on my actual birthday and my family organise a surprise and presents on a day of their choosing in the summer. It's been absolutely brilliant so far. Why oh why didn't I do this years ago?

Next year I'll make more of an effort and who knows, party on the beach?

If the worse comes to the worth I'll organise a meet up for you in Brighton. No problem with the beach but weather might be a bit trickier. It's blowing a holey here today as well. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Many happy returns Asher. I hope you have a year full of wonderful surprises that surpass anything you're dreaming of right now. ๐Ÿ’™ xxx ๐Ÿ˜

Aww, thank you Gillian :D

A swap to summer sounds pretty awesome, how did you wangle that one?!

I hope you have a year full of wonderful surprises that surpass anything you're dreaming of right now.

That would be great, thank you!

how did you wangle that one?!

I moaned about my birthday for years.

My son-in-law suggested I celebrate it in the summer everytime I moaned about it but I didn't think it would work so "yes butted" it for years.

Then I decided to give it go and hit the jackpot the very first time . . . they organised a prosecco picnic in Kew Gardens followed by a Bruce Springsteem concert at Wembley. I had no idea. What a fantastic surprise. It was such a brilliant day!

And the last few years, although not matching the magnitude of that one, have all been wonderful surprises.

I am very, very fortunate. ๐Ÿ˜Š

That's so cool, and genius! I'm going to change mine to the August bank holiday and see what happens! :D

Nah. Not August Bank Holiday. You want your own special day. ๐Ÿ˜

But itโ€™s a day people have off... fine, Iโ€™ll pick another ๐Ÿ˜

Great surprise those pics of your "little" one.
Congratulations mate, will drink one (extra) to your health. Cheers!

Not so little these days for sure, thank you buddy, raising a glass to that :D

Great surprise those pics of your "little" one.

Generally speaking, these kinds of pictures are unwelcome.

Thanks charmer! :)

It's been well unlekker but at least I've got you guys to make fun of (me).

Yes she isssss, thank you!

Well, we would all be pretty useless if we could not at least tease you on your birthday ;)

Unlekker why? :( because it was uneventful? - I prefer the uneventful ones more these days lol... must be getting old! :)

Yes, yes you are ๐Ÿ˜‹

A sad reality lol ;) Hope the remainder of your b.day panned out better :)

A man's true wealth does not depend on things alone in this world. Judging by your photos, you are truly blessed. Happy Birthday!

Damn right, thank you!

Happy Birthday, 40's were great. Looks like someone had some fond memories to share back with you.

Good daddy ๐Ÿ™ƒ

๐Ÿ™‚

Party on the beach next year sounds like a plan! Also sounds like you got the bestest present ever from your girl.

Happy 21st with 20 years experience! Hope you get to enjoy a !BEER or three, and have a wonderfully non !DERANGED birthday!

Thank you very much :)

Cheers. I hope you have a great evening since that is probably about all that is left of this day! I still have about 7 hours before bed time!

Cheers Bozz! I'll be sitting here with a few beers and a few tunes from the past to make me feel younger I reckon :)

Happy birthday and stay forever young!

Thank you lovely :D I'll try!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I had no idea we were the same age. I turned 41 in August. I like the photo collage. :D

Happy 41st to the both of us, thank you! :D

Thank you sir!

You know, i've been watching this reality show the last few weeks and......

I'm sure I met this guy at Steem Fest 3??

Wow, we really are beard brothers...

I've recently decided I need a new look to compliment mine - I've already settled on Dickensian, but cowboy works very well! Or is that Hillbillie or something else?

This guy dwells in the outback shack and so id say heโ€™s rocking a hillbillie - a beard brother he is!

What programme is it?

Iโ€™m a celebrity get me out of here! ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Happy B-day!
Indeed the best gift a dad can get!

It'll do me for sure, cheers!

Sorry forgot to give you a !BEER for your birthday!

Happy birthday buddy..

Thank you Amar :D

Happy birthday man!! That's a fab present, daughters rawk!!

Cheers dude! Sneaked a couple of beers in this evening even though it's a work night, I think they will forgive me. And yes, they are :D

A sneaky coyote of birthday beers never done anyone any harm! :0)

Feeling alright this morning, been practising too much!

Hehe, I like those ones. Make as change from the feeling you have been punched in the head ones!

Party on the beach is always great, regardless of the weather ๐Ÿ˜„. Happy Birthday!

๐Ÿ˜Ž sunshine beats a storm though!

For sure! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Muchas gracias tio!

Happy birthday mate.

Next year we can head to SF and then keep the party going for a month somewhere else. Ibiza?

That would work for me - when Steem Justin?

What price would we need? 10, 20, 50 dollars?

20 for me, a house would be first priority even if Iโ€™m not living in it

20 would be a nice round number to hit.

All I know Iโ€™m seeing grey hairs arrive on my head lol

Hey, @abh12345.

Quiet birthdays, for me, are the best. Great collage, too. Your daughter is considerate, caring and smart. You're quite right, that's really all you need.

Although, that other stuff you mention wouldn't be a bad thing. :)

Happy 41st, or as some might say, Happy one step closer to middle age. :)

Cheers Glen!

The collage is much appreciated, she took precious time out of her dad to make it for me.

So 41 isnโ€™t middle-aged, well thatโ€™s some good news at least!

Thanks again ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

I had to look it up to make sure, but apparently it's most commonly considered between the ages of 45-65. So, you've still got some room. :)

As for me, I'm heading for the middle of middle age, which I'm sure comes with some magical prize. :) Unfortunately, I've felt like I've been on the downhill for quite a while now, and unlike a real downhill, other than time flying by, I'm not actually getting faster with less effort. :)

Manay many happy returns on this pleasant ocassion. Asher Happy Birthday to you๐ŸŽ‚

Thank you very much Rabeel ๐Ÿ˜
