It was my birthday a week ago and I got a dozen friends out for a meal, which is nice as we don't see enough of a couple of them and I'd saved the fact that a friend from London would be there, which was a nice surprise for everyone. Which would be enough to count as something that made me happy.

Then on the Sunday I went to my brother's for tea and mentioned this as we were eating. When my niece heard that there were two women there (which I felt was a disappointingly low number) she declared that I was "ris". As an old geezer, I couldn't possibly use "ris" outside of quotes but this has given me the opportunity to bring it up a few times and it still amuses me.

So two things that made me happy.

Oh, then my birthday gift to myself was a Boba Fett helmet and blaster - it is going to take a long time for that novelty to wear off.

So yeah, good week. Pity I have had the lurgy over the weekend but being "ris" has carried me through.
