wish the wondrous Headapollo a philosophical, caffeinated, drugged-up and cough-free birthday on March 4th

Sorry I’m late with my wishes, but I was having trouble finding someone who would gift wrap cough syrup. I hope you start feeling better real soon.

Despite the snot and barking coughing, I think Headapollo had a nice birthday. He cooked dinner – his choice – while I showered him with gifts and snuggles, and presented him with a birthday cupcake with three candles, off one of which I had snipped one tenth, to represent 29. There’s no way to get 29 candles on a cupcake all burning at once without turning it into a waxy fireball, and I have tried. We thumbed through the Nigel Slater book I bought him and laughed at his messed-up ideas of what constitutes your average person’s storecupboard – one of our favourite pastimes. Later we watched some of Dave Gorman’s Googlewhack – fun stuff.

I love you, ex-birthday boy. I hope I can help you celebrate many more, and healthier, birthdays in the years to come.

Hope you’ve had a good day in spite of being ill, and I hope you’re feeling better! Here’s a birthday cake shaped like a doctor (sort of) just to cover all bases :o)

You know, once upon a time you offered me a genuine, not-inappropriate-uncle-type hug… here’s one right back atcha, hoping you feel much better and still enjoy your burfday :)

My sympathies that you’re sick on your birthday. This often happens to me – I think there’s some mysterious pollen that only comes out around my birthday. I hope you’ll make up for it later, and at least spend the day engaging in sick-day comforts like bad movies and self-pitying naps.

_{See how I added a ‘p’ to sicky, like ‘phat,’ you know? Trust me. It means you’re cool.}

I hope you’re back to your healthy self soon and can enjoy some yummy Abs-food (that sounds dirtier than I intended). At least you can use the nasty sickness to extend your birthday celebration at least to the end of the month, right?

And get well soon. Have a great year and best of luck on the job-front as well! :)

HA-tchou!

HA-mmer time!

HA-ha-ha-ha!

Philosophical? Caffeinated? Drugged up? YOU decide!

HA-ppy Birthday, Headapollo. May your flu f*ck off and may you have a fantastic 29th year. Loads-n loads of virtual balloons are flying just for you today!!!

would seem a not entirely inappropriate moment to say lang may your lum reek:)

Happy Birthday Headapollo!
