Kenny's cake.

Kenny's wife Anne arranged a 50th for him at one of the Edinburgh golf clubs. Lasagne and ceilidh, fizz and balloons. The band was good (and not too loud) and the food was hot plentiful and yummy.

All the kids of all the folk I only see at birthdays and Christmas are a couple of inches taller. All the husbands are a bit fatter and balder, all the wives have changed their hair styles and their glasses frames. I heard about the redundancies and the new jobs, the parents lost and the babies born.

It was great to catch up, to see all those faces, to hear people laugh and see them enjoy themselves.

I know Kenny through the mountain club. His chosen sport for the last few years has been cycling. His theory of bike ownership is the correct number of bikes is n+ 1. N being the number of cycles presently owned.

Happy Birthday Kenny.
