The birthday continues...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet - SXTY
Various - A History of the Single 1959-2019

Up early again and fine tuning the latest mixes...


The vocal performances remain suspect...

So annoying!

Later, the podcast was recorded and uploaded - a wee special this week, featuring some favourite singles which have been hits in the month of May throughout my 60 years on the planet...

Prep was being undertaken..


Fang also popped by to say "Happy Birthday"...


...or it might have been for the goodie drops...


Anne was preparing three tasty lasagnes...


...including a veggie one...


...and there was, of course, more cake...


Soon the guestes arrived - Bob, Keith, Blair, Mary...


...Jane, Rebecca...



Olly...



Maureen, Kitty...


Murray...



and Abbie...


And the drinking and carousing continued...



...including a toast and speech from Bob...








The lasagnes were a big hit - completely scoffed - then, time for the cake with the Happy Birthday cake slice...


An old goat was involved with some candles...




But, of course, it had to be reenacted as Mary hadn't managed to get a picture...




Olly and Kitty were suitably impressed with my candle blowing out skills...











Cake and ice cream enjoyed, more drinking and carousing, all the time soundtracked by 61 singles which were hits in May from 1959 to 2019, Buddy Holly to Taylor Swift...

And then they were all off...

We tidied everything up, washed and put away all the dishes and watched the conclusion of "Line of Duty" which as always, could never actually ever be as good as what everyone was expecting - but left a few loose threads for series six...

Tomorrow, the birthday continues...

Highlight of the day : The birthday continues...
