This Blipper's Birthday .

I was awake today at 5 am and riding down Deansgate .
It felt wonderful and the early morning atmosphere was perfect ,cycling to see if the Heron and / or Cormorant were in their usual place , but no sign .However , many  spiders were busy weaving webs so I took macro shots of them. (see one in extras) Rode back and had '40 winks '.Then a splendid breakfast and off to the YClub .Always a good spot plus the weather was beautiful . Much later when I got back I received a present of some lovely earrings with my birth stone in . A table had been reserved at a spot with a 'good name'- It was an error. Such loud music .This one could inwardly turn off but my meal was served cold . They apologized , brought another and this was the same . It was a no eat ....OK no pay , well for mine at least but not the perfect end one would hope for . All I can do is recall at how many times I have smiled during the course of the day .Birthdays are very special as they mark our entry onto  life's stage .My other extra is a lady who demonstrated hoola hoop .She was terrific .
