Birthday boy.

Another year older today, I celebrate the day with the Queen who came to the throne some 60 years ago on the death of her father King George VI.  He unfortunately died at the relatively early age of 56 which coincidentally is the same as I have attained today.  My Mum assures me that he was a heavy smoker.

Thanks to Julie for her great presents, she is very perceptive and my subtle hints were clearly noted.  The blue foam Muggi holds 4 mugs snugly, keeping them warm and upright when we are sailing along.  The AeroPress is apparently the ultimate coffee maker being a rather ingenious way of pushing water through coffee grounds and into the waiting mug.  If you care to go to AeroPress you can see the details.
