Even if I am a cantankerous old argumentative octogenarian?

Many thanks, Janet. I appreciate it more than you realise.

But to get to the point: How on earth did you discover when my
birthday is, a n that I am not a mere youngster?

I bet you are only doing this to see if I will falter under the weight
of these good wishes. Nevertheless, I would like to let you know how
much I appreciate that I do have friends in urg..

I think we all knew you were not a mere youngster (1) - you've posted a
few historical notes in urg ;-)

(1) these terms are relative of course - I know several people who would
still consider you a youngster!

That custom seems to have all but died out, I fear. Besides, he might prefer
a tradition associated with a country other than England, there are quite a
few to choose from, according to

Ophelia wished you a happy birthday 12 months ago.
You mentioned recently that you weren't 80 until your next birthday.


Ahhh......some folk are able to work out that 79 and 1 make 80.

Does a double sized single of Laphroig count a one or two of the
bumps?

Thank you, Kay. My friends in urg have made my day.
Would you like some of your Helxine back? It is overrunning its
allotted space.

You should know by now that if urglers have plants to give away, it's
because they have outrun their allotted space ;-)

I can give you some of Jill Bell's white flowered herb Robert to go with
it, if you like? And some of her Euphorbia cyparissius variety, with
lovely red new leaves. And chuck you in some Euphorbia robbii while I'm
at it.

Keep digging Franz!

Many thanks, David. I really did not realise how many friends I have
made in URG, in spite of my cantankerousness.
