Beautiful cards and messages from family and friends

Knowing you are an early riser I am sending birthday greetings as you get up and as I go to bed. I hope you have a special day and will be celebrating in some way with friends. I also hope it’s the beginning of a wonderful new year filled with loving friends, happy times and a trip to Cape Town before you reach the next birthday. Much love from us both. Mum & Mike,  Xxx

Happy Birthday Graeme

I know many people from all walks of life and

You are one in a million.

You lead from your heart

You still have that pure innocent wonder of a child

You originate and create

You really care: Mackie, Jilly, Sue, your dear grand dad Yogi and all of us, your family of friends

Nature is your playground and fun and adventure are you fuel.

Like the name of that TV show.

Thank God you are here to enrich all our lives.

Love you mate.

Chris

Thank you dear Musketeers for making my birthday so special.

Thank you for a delicious lunch at The Bot; great company, great conversation and great food. The Holy Trinity.

Thank you dear Aimee for your beautiful card and beautiful words.  You're so creative with your cards; a real art.  Thank you also for the lovely plant and precious stone; now basking in the evening sun with my others plants.

Thank you Chris for your beautiful plants too. They're in good company too.

Thank you Yogi for your "cheque in the mail."  Got me intrigued.  I'm going to tickle Srini till he gives up your question to him !!

Thank you all for your friendship. It's priceless; beyond words.  I feel so truly blessed to have you all in my life.

"Anything Goes" at The Opera House

Beautiful birthday presents from Sue: a book and a show.

I met Sue at her house where she gave me an unexpected birthday present.  It was a a copy of Wild Life by Brad Wilson, a book of animal portraits that I was so entranced with at the bookstore that I was in tears. Sue was with me at the time.  Being the amazing friend she is, she went back and got it for me.  I was touched beyond words by her gift.  It's now my most prized book.

We then went together to Circular Quay on the ferry and had a nice meal overlooking The Harbour Bridge.

Then to The Show which was great fun with lots of fantastic songs.  We had great seats, overlooking The Stage.  Cole Porter sure was a musical genius.

Such  great evening I will always remember, a big thanks to Sue.

Wild Life by Brad Wlison

Just some of the wonderful photos.  Eyes are the windows to the soul.  Animals have souls just as rich and important as our own.  If there is a spiritual reason why we exist, then it encompasses animals just as much as us.
