Sappho's Birthday!!!

1 Sep 2004

Now that it is well past midnight, I can formally announce the birthday of that Divinely Decadent being herself......................the incomparable Sappho :love: :love:
Sadly, parental responsibility insists she is in Shropshire, while work commitments oblige me to be in Berkshire :sad: . However, rest assured that I shall be thundering along the turnpike later this evening in the hope of arriving in time to take her (and Sappho junior) out to dinner. Not sure how many changes of horse this will require - but who cares! After all, the traditional place for changing horses is at a Coaching Inn (many of which still operate as wayside taverns :beer: ) and there's no breathalyser on horseback!!
So will you please join me in wishing a Very Happy Birthday to the most erudite woman in cyberspace...............our very own Sappho :inlove: :twisted: :happy:
Will
PS Yes darling, I know I am supposed to be in bed but I haven't had enough 'anaesthetic' yet. I have so far tried a combination of Ibuprofen, red wine, Paracetamol (:shock smile

, Scotch (single malt, of course) and Armagnac* but with depressingly little effect!! :doh: The little bugger still seems to be making his presence felt!
*Not all at once, of course. There was sometimes a gap of a whole ten minutes!!!

Happy Birthday you.

A google search reveals
"A spokesperson for Killarney GardaÃ confirmed that the normal penalty for being drunk in charge of a horse and carriage was Â£150 while motorists in the same situation are regularly fined Â£230 and automatically lose their licence."
"Lostock Gralam
Drunk In Charge Of Two Horses
At the Northwich Police Court, on Tuesday morning, before Mr Joynson & Mr. JW Deakin, James Dalton, of Lostock Gralam, was charged with being drunk in charge of two horses in Manchester Road on the previous day.
Sergeant Schofield stated that prisoner was almost helplessley drunk, and for some time refused to allow him (witness) to take charge of the horses. He & P.C. Ellwood had to hold Dalton down, and with some difficulty they got him to the police station.
The chairman said they could not be so lenient as in an ordinary case of drunkeness and prisoner would be fined 10s."
And my favourite in reference to the charge of the light brigade
"When the Light Brigade regrouped there were only 195 men still with horses. The brigade had lost 118 men killed and 127 wounded; 362 horses were killed. The stupidity of the action and its reckless bravery prompted Marshal Pierre Bosquet to state C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre ("It is magnificent, but it is not war.") Initially the Russian commanders believed the British soldiers must have been drunk"
PS getting back on track happy birthday Sappho

Thank you everyone for all your birthday wishes by post and phone - what a wonderful lot you are! I've been overwhelmed with love and kisses and it's a damned good feeling!
Most of all, thank you to my other half, for the champagne, the flowers and trekking to Shropshire in the face of pain and discomfort. How is that nasty little wisdom tooth? Sappho promises to kiss it better.
By the way, in case you were wondering just how old I am today... I am 38.
Well, off to bathe sensuously in the posh bath salts Sappho Junior got me, ready for dinner this evening with her and the Bard. The champers is chilling, as are the flutes, and the strawberries are ready for later... :twisted:
Yours, Sappho xxx

Thoughts on Friendship
September evenings melting into darkling dusk
The sun away to pour its gift on people I don’t know,
Lilies permeate the senses with their heady musk
And bats take wing in daring show.
A time for beer and and peace and quiet reflection
And bringing to mind the friends we’ve known,
As vainly we courted meaning and direction
Yet on the fickle winds of fate were blown.
A good time this, to raise a brimming glass
To lives that sailed in our waters for a while,
Unworthy communicants in this human Mass
Fellow travellers on this Golden Mile.
And as light fades from a world grown dark in death of day
Mere reminder and rehearsal for a time awaiting all,
My friends are near me: and will stay
My partners at this final Ball.
To my friend Sappho. Happy Birthday.
