The Big 40

No, not my Year List - although my 2008 total it's not much higher than that. I celebrated my 40th birthday today in style - with a trip to Cosmeston Country Park (see blog). I know, I know, I sure know how to party.

But, earlier in the day, I enjoyed a few family moments opening my presents and cards. Sadly, there were no top of the range optics amongst the parcels. This was much to the Twitchmeister's annoyance 'cos he's itching to 'inherit' my old Optolyth. Instead, as befits a member of this particular Blog, Mrs JJ bought me a pair of 'camo' pants (to help me sneak up on birds, naturally).

David Beckham eat your heart out

Mrs JJ also bought me some other presents but I'm not putting them on this Blog! I'm grateful to Jeff and Teresa (Mr and Mrs Grouse) for their carefully chosen humorous card. Note the number plate of the car which again befits a member of this Blog.

I'm not so grateful to Tim, Gill and Rosie for their card . . .

And finally, here's a photo of one of my more unusual presents. Don't ask!

Sorry, our card just saves us buying another one in 40 years time.
