I’m going to be wordless for the next few days, as it’s hubby’s 70th birthday tomorrow, and our daughter is flying down from Johannesburg this evening to help her dad celebrate this important milestone. She’ll be staying until Monday, so my blogging will have to take a back seat.
What does one buy for a 70-year-old who says that he has everything he could ever want?Β The answer is, two Nike running shirts, so that he can look much smarter on his 8km runs. I bet there aren’t many men his age who can runs this far without pausing for breath, so it’s thumbs up to hubby, and wishing him continued fitness and lots more good health in the next 70 years.
PS: I know this post isn’t wordless, but really, have you ever known me not to have something to say? Hubby would definitely say “Amen to that.”
Perfect!!! And more birthday wishes to hubby π
Thanks, Madhu. The more the merrier. π

Happy Birthday to your husband. I love the gift of running shoes, may he enjoy them.
Thanks so much. The running vests haven’t been worn yet. He’s been too busy celebrating to try them out. π
Happy birthday to your hubby! Wishing you both long life!
The thumb reminds me of a birthday cake we made for a friend of Sir’s – he accidentally cut his thumb off with a circular saw, luckily Sir was around and got him to a hospital, but he lost the thumb. It was his birthday the following week so I made him a cake with a big fondant icing thumb, decorated with lots of red bloody food colouring, for the occasion.
The cake got the thumbs up.
Thanks so much for the birthday wishes Desire, but definitely too much information about the severed thumb. π
Congrats to Hubby from me and Yarri ! … IΒ΄m impressed of his running, 8km !! … So thumbs and paws up from us here in the northern part of Sweden ! … // Maria

Thanks so much, Gunta. You are of the same vintage. π
And a very good year it was, too! π
Must have been. π
Happy 70th to him!
I can’t run that far – but then I couldn’t when I was 20, so that isn’t surprising!
Thanks, Col. π
Happy Birthday to him. Have a great family week.
Thanks you so much. Celebrations not over yet. π

Happy Birthday Hubs! Enjoy your weekend of celebrating! I’ll be sure to cheers him this evening with a Skinny Pirate.
Thanks so much. A very good excuse for an extra Skinny Pirate, as if you need an excuse. π
LOL…..that’s awesome!
Thanks, Iris. π
I adore this shot.
Thanks, Cee. It was an interesting subject. π
I have never been a runner (except the 100 yards at school) and given the state of my knees won’t be starting any time soon, but good on your hubby, he must be very fit! We have a 77 year old neighbour who goes out for a run every day!
Hope hubby has a lovely day and enjoy the time with your family Sylvia. Another interesting restaurant maybe? π
Thanks so much, Jude. The 100 yards was about my limit too. π We’ve been out for a few lovely meals over the past few days.
Please share my Happy Birthday wishes!
Thanks so much, Lisa. I did. π
Wishing your Hubby a most happy 70th! Enjoy your time as a family. I’m off for a run thinking of his fitness regime. π
Thanks, Sue. Glad my post inspired you. π
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HUBBY!!!

Thanks, El G. π
Happy 70th to hubby! I know if never manage an 8km run, I barely survive a 5km walk! π
Thanks so much. I could never run anywhere. It looks so undignified. That’s my excuse, and I’m sticking to it. π
Happy 70th to your husband! π
Thanks, Andy. π
Wishing your hubby a very happy 70th and happy birthday celebrations for you all over the next several days. Thumbs up indeed! How wonderful that he is so fit! See you soon Sylvia π xx
