The Ring Master's Birthday

The Ring Master's birthday was a fairly low key affair. Under normal circumstances celebrations would begin on the 9th and continue until the 30th, the official "Birthday month". Unfortunately circumstances have conspired to reduce the disposable wedge to an all-time low. Billy surprised all by demanding another new tyre, a brake cable and a side light in order to gain an MOT.

On the bright side Fatface was able to come over and provided admirable support, including a candle-light rendition of "Happy Birthday to you". Big Lou and Rez felt disinclined to join in. It is a little known fact that cat's cannot blow candles out nor for that matter whistle. No lips. So the spectacle of a group "blowing-out" event was a little too much for their sensibilities. Fillipa polished off one of the individual chocolate cakes and felt very icky for the rest of the evening.

A highlight of the proceedings was the handmade Birthday card presented to The Ring Master by Fatface. The main motif was none other than Fing himself, in extreme closeup. Delicately placed glittery decorations set the whole piece off with an understated burst of pure pizzazz.

How absolutely bloody exciting!

I just remembered to check my Yahoo email and found 600 emails, including one alerting me to your blog!

Am very excited, even though it took me a little while to twig, that I'm fatface!

Hurrah!
