Day one


 Pirate's treatment went smoothly, although someone else's driving was a bit of a shock to his system! The volunteer driver for the first two days used to be a bus driver...and drove a little faster and closer than I would...and the sat nav took them an interesting route!

I had some Me time..and went shopping...not very inspiring! I had the instruction to buy myself a new top....but I'm not one for flowery and fussy and non natural fibres...so that idea disappeared!!

After a nap, we went to the nearest garden centre for a cuppa and cake, then a little tour in the car to one of Pirate's favourite viewpoints on the Carrick Hills, with a view of the Isle of Arran 


One day we will get a non misty view!!


An ice cream on the way home....and a pizza from the freezer.....no making a meal from scratch on my birthday!


Lovely cards and presents, some texts and emails, hundreds of messages on farcebook...

But these are the best cards...

  3. Happy Birthday. From the few days I've spent being 70 I can tell you that it's not too bad, so far.

    OH, barring one day, exactly a decade older than my younger sister! (You'll see that report on Friday.) CONGRATULATIONS, and here's to many more years... for both of you and the Pirate. YAM xx

  15. I hadn't realised it was a "significant" birthday. Enjoy your seventies (the new 50's).

    Glad Pirate's treatment went well and you had a good day.
