Well, thank you all, I'm truly chuffed!
This out-pouring of birthday felicitations can only be surpassed by the pouring-out (and consumption!) of industrial quantities of liquid refreshment, something that, for the pleasurable purpose of extending the celebration of the arrival of mon self to this jumpin' green sphere via the dear (and long departed) Mother Martini, I shall be looking forward to over the next few days...
I'm glad to say that I'm now at an age where the parents of young ladies consider me to be a 'safe, reliable and responsible adult', and allow their delightful daughters to accept my invitations for to pop round to Martini Mansions for tea and biscuits. Little do their guardians know that, instead of Jasmine and jelly, it'll be jacuzzi and gin... (well, maybe some jelly...)
However, I will, of course, be sharing this glorious Gemini period of birth celebrations with Frankie who, although a relative youngster compared to myself, shows no visible sign of ageing. Rumours that he has a picture of someone called Dorian in his attic are yet to be proved... I, on the other hand, am working on my master plan to grow old disgracefully. With any luck, VERY old, and VERY disgracefully....
Ciao,
DINO
