When I'm 64

Mr M's birthday today and he's actually 65!

Now, a really strange and spooky thing happened to us this evening. We decided to go for a pre-dinner drink in the Cavern Pub. We thought about going to the Cavern Club again but we'd had such a brilliant evening the day before it would be a disappointment if it wasn't as good.

Unfortunately the pub was not nearly as good so we left to get a bite to eat. As we walked past the Cavern Club Mr M said "Oh come on, we might not get here again let's just go in for one quick drink." So we did.

As we look round for somewhere to sit someone calls Mr M's name. It's only his brother Martyn and his wife Mel (who live in Maidenhead, so nowhere near Liverpool)! Mr M thought I'd arranged the meeting until he realised everyone was very surprised to see each other.

Turns out they're there for the weekend too and the night before we had only missed them by half an hour in the Cavern Club where Martyn was doing a bit of drumming with one of the live acts. We must have spent the weekend following each other around the city on various site seeing tours.

We had a lovely evening together, I think it made Mr M's birthday.
