So it’s my birthday today … the hour and nine minutes that’s left of it anyways ๐
It’s been a fun day despite having to go to work for a large part of it … I got to have cake and champagne with the family and red wine afterward and catch up on my blog and all the lovely people who’ve stopped by on various forums to say hello and wish me well. It’s been nice … a laid-back kind of birthday and to celebrate I’ve included a bokeh firework shot on Saturday night looking toward Darling Harbour in Sydney. Gosh, that was a fun weekend … nothing to do but decide what to do next, take photographs … or not … I walked a long way.
So, Happy Birthday to Me! ๐
What’s your ideal way to spend a birthday? Soaking bath? Skydive? Zilch? Everyone? Noone? Chocolate!
Do tell ๐
Happy B’day Geoffrey! Cupcakes and champagne sounds divine…chocolate, of course ๐
Aww … thanks Roxie ๐
Chocolate’s a good choice ๐
Happy birthday! What a great photo to accompany the post … I am glad you got some bday cake, that is always my favourite part. I usually get a Oreo or Snickers cake . Yum ๐ My birthday passed in January, I ended up having more of a birthday week. Maybe you can drag it out and party all week long. ๐
Thanks Emily ๐
I’m thinking the day is less important that the festival ๐
Happy Birthday to you! Every birthday must include chocolate and loved ones.
Thanks Elena … oh yes chocolate and loved ones both ๐
Happy birthday from far far away! I missed it by a few minutes but then, in my time it’s still your birthday for a couple of hours. Oh, I’m just thinking that because we live on other parts of the world both of our birthdays fall into the same time of summer, almost to the date.
I never work on my birthday, at least I haven’t until now, and actually like to spent it alone without any fuzz, just sleeping in, cooking and/or baking something nice, enjoying the day. That’s possibly because as a twin I had to ‘share’ most of my birthdays with my brother. No big party, it’s just not me.
The bokeh firework is beautiful, I like it a lot.
This is the first year I’ve worked on my birthday for a long time … mostly because I took time off to go up to Sydney last weekend! Normally I would be just swanning about justifying everything I did with “It’s my birthday” ๐
happy birthday. sending you a big kiss xxxo
*Mwah* thank you P ๐
Happy Birthday. May you enjoy it fully with family and friends. My favorite way to spend a birthday … I’m fortunate enough to have one that occasionally falls on Thanksgiving. So … stuffing myself into oblivion, laughing with family, napping, and watching a good movie (when everyone else is done with football).
Thanks … lucky you ๐
If I lived in New Zealand I would get a public holiday on my birthday every year. Instead I got first day of school for a number of years which is NOT a fun way to spend your bithday ๐
Happy Birthday Geoffrey, mine is on Monday.. and as I’m currently in Mallorca with my lovely daughter returning late on Saturday I think I’ve had my birthday treat.. a whole weeks worth!
Mallorca … lucky you! Definitely think you’ve had at least part of your birthday treat. They should be treated as festivals anyways ๐
Happy birthday for Monday if I don’t catch you ๐
HB GD!
Best way to spend a birthday is getting lots of birthday greetings and well wishes.
So Happy Birthday from me and K,I and T.
Hey Alex! Thank you … that’s pretty much how my birthday went ๐
happy birthday !!
Thanks Mate! ๐
Happy Birthday to you Geoffrey! As you say, the birthday is one set of 24 hours, the celebrations endless!
That’s right! ๐
WELL,WELL, WELL YOUNG MAN , I DO WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY – BELATED THOUGH IT BE. I HAVEN’T BEEN ON THE NET OF LATE SO I DID NOT CATCH THE NEWS UNTIL TODAY – THE DAY THEY CALL THE MONSTER STORM HITS THE NORTHEAST. SO FAR I CAN SAY THAT WE HAVE SAFELY ATLEAST 2 AND 1/2 FEET OF SNOW (ABOUT 75 CM METRIC).
GLAD TO READ THAT YOU HAD A GOOD DAY. HAVE A GREAT YEAR!!!! Mari
Thanks Mari … don’t get too buried in the white stuff!
A belated happy birthday. Looks like you had a great day even if you had to work on the great day. My ideal idea of spending a birthday? Doing some different, whatever that would be – and also celebrating it along with my kids.
Hey Thanks Otto ๐
Excellent. My kids are very important to my birthday celebrations ๐
A belated happy birthday, Geoff. If you’re like me, you won’t mind having it extended a week or two. ๐
Thanks Ginnie … no I don’t mind extending it at all! ๐
Well, I’m only 8 days late, but congrats anyway ๐
Thanks ๐
I appreciate the thought ๐
A belated, but very Happy Birthday from me as well! I hope the coming year will be filled with lots of adventure, happiness and fabulous photography! Your vibrant bokeh image is stunning.
Thanks Martina ๐
Happy Birthday Geoff!
Meinen Geburtstag ist am 14. dieses Monats. Ich werde diesen mit lange Schlafen am Morgen beginnen. Nach dem aufstehen eine Tasse Kaffee und danach kein mรผssen, nur dรผrfen. Am Abend mรถchte ich zusammen mit meinem Partner kochen. Ich liebe Spaghetti mit Tomaten, Karotten, Zucchetti, Oliven, Zwiebeln und Knoblauch. Gemeinsame Zeit, statt Party.

Happy Birthday Geoff!
My birthday is on 14 this month. I’ll start with this long sleep in the morning. After getting up a cup of coffee and then not have to, only. In the evening I like to cook with my partner. I love spaghetti with tomatoes, carrots, zucchini, olives, onions and garlic. Time together, rather than party.
Claudia
Oh, ich vergass zu schreiben, dass mir dein Bokeh-Feuerwerk gefรคllt.
Google translate verion: Oh, I forgot to write that I like your bokeh fireworks.
