Happy Birthday salymap and thanks too to french frank for arranging the flower delivery with Jenny

Yup, REAL flowers - not just the photo! Jen said saly was fond of yellow, hence the yellow/violet combination.

Happy Birthday sals - and what a glorious day, too! Hope it's as lovely where you are as it is in the Pennines today - and that you get to enjoy the Spring colours: so much in bloom, if not alas, the Pasque flowers (I don't ever recall their flowering coinciding with Easter - we were hoping that this year might prove an exception).

Terrific collection of flowers chosen by frenchie, too

Salymap says that she was born on Good Friday and that this is the only other year when the two events have coincided

wasn't April 18 2003 a Good Friday ? .... anyway ...

On your 21st Birthday ...

Best wishes from me and Bonnie the Lurcher. (We have just had our 5 mile walk)

Hope your plans for the conquest of Everest are going well. Keep them there doctors and medics at bay, and take no hostages.

Hope you have a great day (better not to have more than 1 bottle of whiskey though, or 7 pints of real ale, whichever you prefer ...)

Happy birthday saly.

Warmest birthday greetings, saly. Today, once again, you've upstaged me by adding a further digit to your age!

It's been so good to hear of your progress, chapter and verse, from a most fastidious amanuensis.

Shakespeare, as ever, provided the greeting I was seeking, in Romeo & Juliet when the Nurse complements Juliet on her fourteenth birthday, "Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days".
Act I, Sc iv.
