Birthday Boy

Today, as occurs every year around about this time, is my birthday.  Everyone says I’m 66 but I think I'll start moving the other way and be 64 this year.
 
I had a really nice day starting with coffee at Nero, after a blood test, then Beryl and I went next door to the MAD (Mechanical Art and Design) museum; a fantastic place full of fascinating contraptions, clocks, marble drops, musical chopper motorcycle etc etc all mechanically operated.
 
Later we went out for a meal with Maureen and Ian to The Dirty Duck, or Black Swan, and had a great evening before taking a walk by the river. The weather has definitely cooled a bit and sleeping tonight should be a little easier.
