Happy birthday to Ben. And I’m glad to report that Superfast Fibre is scheduled to be rolled out to our neck of the woods in June.

Night Owls and Dancing Beans
There was never mush room on the dance floor when the Swede tribute band started playing ‘Dancing Bean’. Happy birthday to Emma at the weekend.
The Night Owls of Wath on Dearne:
‘Oooo whoh-shi Wi’?!’
‘Tint tin tin!’
You’ll understand these if you’re from Wath on Dearne, but might struggle if you’re relying on Google Translate.
Happy birthday to Paul yesterday.
Wild Isles
Some of the sequences that didn’t make it into the final cut of Wild Isles.
Basketball Bottle Bank
Happy birthday to Leo. Another recent card. Our family does like to bunch a lot birthdays together.
New Colours
For the first time in years, Farrow and Ball have released a new range of colours.
Happy birthday to Ali at the weekend. There are eleven colours in the new range and I couldn’t fit them all on Ali’s card but I couldn’t resist drawing the remaining four who didn’t make it into the final cut.

Vegan, Veggi, Vici
Healthy options in Ancient Rome. Happy birthday to Tom yesterday.
The Twiglet Zone
Happy birthday to Susan, who always avoids encounters with cheese straws at parties. Come to think of it she always avoids Twiglets too. After this she’s probably going to avoid me at the next party too.
You can see that I’m still missing Gary Larson’s Far Side cartoons. I can’t believe that his last cartoon appeared as long ago as 1995.
Spaniel History
Milestones in spaniel history. Happy birthday to Sarah.
To keep in spaniel mode that last caption should have read: ‘Spaniel Radcliffe: ‘Hairy Potterer and the Philosopher’s Bone’.’
Monday Morning Ducks
“I didn’t expect you to survive for more than a few days.” I said to John recently.
“I hope that I haven’t disappointed you.” he replied.
He’s celebrating his 82nd birthday today.
All the family is gathering around but as this is the Hospice in relays rather than in one big noisy party. I drew my usual view of trees from his patio windows on our visit this morning.
Safari
Happy birthday to Hannah.
As this is a big – jumbo-sized – birthday this year it’s a pop-up card.
