Helping Julie Blow out her Candles

I desperately tried to get to my blog for the last two nights. And the last two nights storms have had me in bed consoling the messmonsters, counting the kilometres between the storm and the house, and making firmly sure my modem was UNPLUGGED. 

We now go accoustic here in the country after having more than one internet connection frazzle itself out complete with perm and electric guitar in a storm.

My post about one of my favourite artists was prepared already... But it will have to wait for tomorrow. Because it's a 'STOP THE PRESS' sort of event that just occured.

It's JULIE'S birthday. Julie, the adventurer, sweet friend and general all round supporter of everybody and their 'blog,' is having a birthday today. 

Well - I say that you can't have a birthday without a party. And I'm inviting myself to this one.  (See - I'm already there under that same sky Julie took a  photograph of today)


SO JULIE,  FROM ME ...

TRES JOYEUX ANNIVERSAIRE PLEIN DE JOIE, BONHEUR, AMOUR, SANTE ET REUSSITE.

You are one of the sweetest, sincerest and most encouraging people I have met (since even before blogging) and I could go on forever about your talent but I'm just tooooo  jealous so will let everyone pop over and wish you a happy birthday and see for themselves.

Lots of love

Ange

  1. I've just been over to meet and greet her on her birthday - lovely photos! Thanks for the link.

    My boys refused to go to bed last night until they'd both seen a proper lightning strike - we are big thunder fans (fortunately). However, Ben was working late to try to prepare a visit and all his work computers went down, so I think he shares your view of the current weather.

  2. And I won't say this to her but I agree Julie is a very very supportive person a bright ray of sunshine in an ocassionally dark world and an always optimistic nostalgist. xoxo

  8. Acoustic blogging - that's a tremendous idea on this big occasion. I'll start off in backing vocals for Julie's birthday post. Does anyone know the theme from Fame to serenade her? One, two, three...

    What a lovely friend, to wish our wonderful Julie a Happy Birthday on her very special day. I, too have had terrible trouble with my computer and only just managed my post today and then saw that it was Julie's birthday, today.
    Hope that the weather improves soon, Ange.
    Have a great week. Did you get my last email ? XXXX

Can't think of a famous quote that says 'communication makes the world go round' so you 'll just have to get my clumsy way of putting it instead ;-) Your comments are precious. Thanks for dropping by!
