Fancy, NYEve & Birthday, was that spur of the moment, "Passion," or just plain BAD TIMING ❓ ❓ 😸😸
Aaaaargh! I gave up birthdays years ago! Now the 🐈‍⬛ is really out of the 🛍️. 🙀You know it was all the passionately patriotic VE Day parties. The bad timing was Winston Churchill's DDay landings. That's what I was told. Much later. And of course we were so well-brought up that we never questioned and never argued with our parents?! Not even when they told me the Scots celebrate Hogmanay just for me. 😳. 😸🍷🍷😸🐈‍⬛
