This must be pretty old, cos lots of these are more than trilogies now...

But, at least whoever created it agrees with you all about The Godfather Part III 🙂😁

I may not have much appetite for proper food yet...

But, I can still enjoy a bit of cake. And these are lush! 😋

Gooey and sticky, with a lovely warmth of ginger.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ would recommend

I am attempting a cup of coffee. ☕️

A friend included this in my birthday card.

I quite like it...tho, I reckon that fifty and sixty should be swapped round for me.

Plus, I was never sporty! 😁

When I was Twenty I thought I knew plenty. When I was Thirty I liked to be flirty. When I was Forty I got rather sporty. When I was Fifty. I turned very thrifty. But now that I'm Sixty, I've got to confess That more often than not, I couldn't care less.

Scenes from an Italian Restaurant...

We got given an "on the house drink"*

I said it was because they knew I was celebrating my birthday, but my sister says they just got the order wrong! 😀

*chocolate liqueur, Tia Maria, and rum. Yum! 😋

Hellfire, the evening birthday baton holder is running late!

So, I'm starting on the beers proper now anyway...

And tonight's festivities are sponsored by Brew York. Beginning with this Cherry & Rhubarb Pie Sour.
