Thank you so much for the birthday greeting, I love it! (my, imagine having those two pull up to the kerb! *bg*)
There were lots of good things in the day, not least of which was managing to skype with my zoic#1 on the other side of the world, and I count myself very happily-birthday'd indeed. Lovely birthday messages have absolutely put the icing on top *vbg*
Oh I'm glad you were pleased with my birthday message & the lads all smile-y pulling up to the kerb :) That's great that you had a nice birthday... but who is a zoic? (not English mother tongue here 😩)

Oops, just in case the first answer I sent didn't go through properly somehow:
Mar. 10th, 2016 10:46 pm (UTC) Oh, I'm so sorry, that was rude of me! I've got into the habit and didn't think; it's kind of a sort of a joke that I often refer to my children as "zoics" :-) Strictly speaking it's a made-up word, because properly used it's only a suffix and not a whole word at all. I'm trying (probably incorrectly!) to play on the Greek root -zoic having to do with life/living/animal (as in the names of geological ages like the Palaeozoic, Mesozoic etc.). I have two, so they are zoic#1 and zoic#2. I also refer to them as Spawn. I am a terrible parent :-)
