Well, leading up to this birthday I was playing with the thought of phasing out birthdays. Leading towards forgetting my age, focus on other things.. blah blah..
Then my actual birthday arrived, 14th January.. and it all shifted. My kids were so excited for my day, the sun was out and we had a wonderful afternoon. I was happy with this, done. Then, Thursday happens. Kids go to mums, the wife comes in to Memphis with me which is rare, and sure I expect a few congratulations but thatās it.. little do I know, cheeky little shits
@djphoebesnowflow ,
@dustyleeau and
@_willhealey_ have all made a genuinely wonderful gesture that completely got me by surprise. Not only did the bar staff dress up like me, all of my friends did too, and the band.. it was absolutely incredible. We had an amazing night.
Saturday lunch in Handorf with my brothers, nephews and dad, then cake at mums. Honestly, what a wonderful birthday.
Huge shout out to the staff at
@memphis.slims for the amazing effort and for making me feel appreciated. To my bestie
@dustyleeau for nailing a bestie move, to
@djphoebesnowflow for supporting me even when I donāt feel like it, and to all my friends who made me feel special at the gig and with messages. Thank you.
It was also my brother Adrianās birthday whoās a year older on the same day. Happy birthday bro!
44. I can still play rock drums, but I have to stretch. Thatās about it.
God Bless you all. Maybe birthdays will live on.
