100th birthday barbecue

at our place. 100th because I contribute 50 and Pat throws 50 into the pot, too.

Merguez, chipolatas, ventreche and steak haché galore.

100th birthday duly celebrated in the presence of all Pat's siblings.

Thanks, that reminds me, a friend (note f r i e n d, not contemporary!) was 105 yesterday. Try getting a birthday card that already has 105 on it I defy you. I still need to get the card to her son, (yes, he's still alive too!) Her memory's 'not too good' so it will hopefully serve to extend the celebrations for her. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

As a (rather appropriate - I think) afterthought which is of no particulat interest other than to give vent to the musings of a simple mind, I have just bought the book "The Last Fighting Tommy", by the late Harry patch, at 111 years the younger of the two.
There's a funny little quote from one of his relatives at the front of the book;- 'Harry's father was keen on rabbiting. After he died, his sons found his gun. Nobody knew whether it had ever been licensed, so they threw it down Granny's well.'
Maybe I'm just easily amused but I'm chortling me little 'ead orft as I'm typing this. I just have this vision....
