It's been a fantastic 24 hours.
Nuala ( Nu) as usual made my visit special....even down to bagging the best table at the Sky Garden's restaurant by stating that it was my 40 th birthday. The hostess , polite as she was didn't batter an eyelid ( as when have I ever looked 40? Even when I was 30 I didnt look 40) and the cute as a button waiter brought us two tiny chocolate cakes and a candle which we laughed over until we wept.
The best time

And THAT is one of the best things about being human in this world- enjoying a friendship like that one.
ReplyDeleteThere are some people just born to be our best friends, you and Nu are perfect examples! Happy to see you had a blast!
ReplyDeleteKnackerednow though!
DeleteFabulous! True friends!
ReplyDeleteHave forwarded this post to the Sky Garden. Expect the lawyers letter is being readied as we speak.
ReplyDeleteOld friends are the best ones - as comfortable as carpet slippers... but not as smelly nor are they covered in bulldog saliva.
ReplyDeleteNice preChristmas treat John.
ReplyDeleteSometimes a day like that is exactly what you need.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time and can now sit back and relax - if the dogs let you of course...
Another wonderful memory to store away...
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Rachel got when she typed in, 'Sky Garden'?
ReplyDeleteHum?
DeleteRose garden.
DeleteOh, you haven't been reading my posts then. (Flounce...)
DeleteThat is so lovely! I had dinner in London with my best friend at school- we drifted apart after that but 30 plus years later, we spent a long and hilarious and fun night together and it could have gone on for days! Friends really do make the world go around :)
ReplyDeleteShe looks like great fun!
ReplyDeleteSimply lovely.
ReplyDeleteHappy 40th birthday. Again.
So glad you had a good time - it certainly looks as though you did !
ReplyDeleteSlappy birthday? Everyone needs a BF like Nu. Glad you had such a good time!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun .. Happy Birthday again !
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like spending a couple of hours, giggling with a good friend .. it lifts you up :)
That view ! ... wow ...
Happy Birthday and from the looks of things it was the 2nd time around on drinks as well. Greta Mani. Nu!
ReplyDeleteI envy you that eternal friendship, renewed faithfully across the years and miles. And somehow, Slappy Birthday better represents that first photo than the more traditional greeting would.
ReplyDeleteThought it said "slappy birthday" on your cake...lol
ReplyDeleteshe is the perfect friend.
ReplyDeleteHow perfectly delightful!
ReplyDeleteHow perfectly delightful!
ReplyDeleteHappy 29th birthday, if you are going to stretch the years, go all the way!

ReplyDeleteLooks like you both were having a great time.

You don't think you look 40? Huh. I guess it comes to all of us.....
ReplyDeleteI can say with absolute confidence that you don't look one day over 40. :-)
ReplyDeleteOf course you look 40 ... if you squint into the sun, with one eye shut AND you have your back to us .... you do look 40 ;-)
ReplyDeleteEveryone should have a friend like NU, you treasure each other just as you should. Lovely to see you having so much fun. xx
You do look forty, a forty year old who's had a lot of fun in his life!!! X
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to try the Sky Garden. You got there before I did! Looks like fun, fraudulent birthday treat and all. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, 41 tops! Not a day older. How fun to visit with old friends. Good for you...sorry about the chaos upon returning home.
ReplyDeleteHappy un-birthday! What a view and what a friend!
ReplyDeleteLove your post with Nu!! Happy holidays, John!
