This is something that I’m sure our Frozen Northern Ailuropod remembers fondly. Maybe he even got one for his birthday, half a century ago or so…
Did I say that, for one week, and one week only, said ailuropod and I will be
??
Everyone got that?
Great. Many happy returns of the day.
why thank you. I turn 54 tomorrow, all soul’s day, not today, all saints day. but I fully expect to celebrate all 54 of the years both tomorrow evening when I’m being taken out to dinner, and for several days in the future.
as to chemistry sets – of COURSE I had one. but none of these commercial thingoes, my dad was a chemistry teacher in secondary school. though the fulminations of the poster seem a tad overblown. maybe I’m not so sympathetic because I see and have possession of that stuff on a daily basis.
OK, so it was a couple of hours in advance, from my point of view. Note that I very carefully did not say that your birthday was All Saints Day…wouldn’t want to age you prematurely.
