Yes it was my best Birthday in several years (at least) @outlander @Shaz51
Nice lunch out, with the couple who run my fortnightly MH Lunch Group - they picked me up (I didn't have to drive there), then they paid for my lunch too (Wow, nice).
Plus my back neighbour/ friend came too - good conversation.
Then there was this endearing online/ virtual Birthday Bash/ Party thread going on (as well).
In some past years, this online (Forum) Birthday thread/ party has been the only celebration I had - there was no-one to go out, or have lunch with.

Thinking of you and wishing you well for the year ahead

Thank you @frog Very much.
I like your picture - it has Liliums.
I love Liliums, I used to grow them myself.
Yes, it was a very quiet Birthday - they all have been, for the past 10 years.
No relatives to celebrate with here (they are all in NSW).
Nice to have some friends to be with - it was 4 of us for lunch yesterday.

Hi Everyone.
I cannot believe that 2 years has already Passed - Since this Thread/ Birthday.
Tomorrow is my Birthday - Monday 15th of March.
I'm turning 52 (feels like 105)....
I have my Battle Scars, from 4 major Bowel Surgeries (5 surgeries so far) - to show I'm a Battle Scarred War Horse, not a Spring Chicken....

@Adge Conscious also it is only 6 days to the anniversary of your Dad's passing too so sending you some extra love today just in case I do not get a chance throughout the week

Thanks so much @Zoe7 Much appreciated.
Anyone is Welcome to start a new Birthday Thread, if they wish.
I just Re-discoved this Birthday Thread - That you kindly started for me, 2 years ago.
My Birthday In-Person is Looking like a Total Non-event (as has often been).
So I'm trying to be Pro-Active, in connecting with people on Forums for my Birthday.
Also maybe take a Load off our Special Birthday Keeper person @Shaz51
By giving Shaz less Work to Do.....

Thanks @Zoe7
