...drinks are on Mother!
CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."
Happy birthday, Jon!
ReplyDeleteI hope your mother's recently stocked up her wine cellar?
Gin, dear. Gin.

Forget about the past, you can’t change it,
ReplyDeleteForget about the future, you can’t predict it,
Forget about the present, I didn’t get you one!
Happy Birthday!
What? No diamonds? Thanks, Mark... Jx
DeleteAccording to Lucille Ball, the secrets to remaining forever youthful are; get plenty of rest, chew your food carefully, and lie about your age.

DeleteMany happy returns, caro - Bette had it right - it's not for sissies, this getting older business. But we sissies seem to do all right at it! And it certainly beats the alternative...
ReplyDeleteWe sissies certainly do, my dear! Thank you, and in the words of dear Noel Coward:
Delete“My importance to the world is relatively small. On the other hand, my importance to myself is tremendous. I am all I have to work with, to play with, to suffer and to enjoy. It is not the eyes of others that I am wary of, but of my own. I do not intend to let myself down more than I can possibly help, and I find that the fewer illusions I have about myself or the world around me, the better company I am for myself.”
Words to live by... Jx
Happy belated birthday wishes!!
