I was recently invited, along with my family to a sixty fifth birthday meal in a lovely pub/restaurant not too far away. It was good to all get together and laugh and joke as well as catch up on all the news and eat good food that we hadn't had to prepare ourselves. Notice I am not mentioning drinks here?
Well it wasn't long before I heard even noisier laughing and noticed Eddie Bluelights was there!
I told you I'd had a bad day. (Didn't I?) Was it an illusion or not? Could it really be him? Photos started snapping all around me and I could do nothing to stop these bloggers from taking my picture. Full frontal as well. I had thought of suing them, but whats the use.

Presents were opened and out plopped a black tee shirt that someone's son had bought for the Birthday Boy. This is the front of it.
And this is the back of it. Don't you think it was an ideal present to give to a blogger who can't keep away from his computer for one minute? Eddie's wife hates the thought of anyone encouraging this hobby. She much preferred the words on the back of the tee shirt and seemed to be most unimpressed with the front, as she thinks that she is flogging a dead horse with her complaints. I think Harry had great empathy with her about that too. Maybe they should get together and leave the bloggers in peace. Only joking, if she is reading this!

ReplyDeleteAaah the cat is out of the bag now!
ReplyDeleteThe daily rags and paparazzi are on their way!lol
Glad you had such a great time.

ReplyDeleteOh Maggie May, this is a nice way to greet someone a happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you had a great time!
lol....what a brilliant tee-shirt! I love apt pressies, although I need to put a face on for the typical ones!
ReplyDeleteI just read all about the fun at Eddie's! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time. I love the shirt. Front and back. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteI'm now trying to figure out whether you two already knew each other or met through blogging. Not that it's any of my business, just interested. I love Eddie's site too!
ReplyDeleteThat T-shirt is amazing.
Thanks for your comment over at mine- re aroma, I did a post on how scent can bring you back in time in September- here's the thingy if you're interested- http://mimi-mimis-world.blogspot.com/2009/09/scent-glorious-scent.html
Gotta go wish someone Happy Birthday!!!
Mimi...... I've known Eddie Bluelights since he was born! He he!
ReplyDeleteEddie is your baby brother! Ha!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that? :-)
Maggie, I SO wish I could have joined you all! LOOOOVE the shirt. The spouses of us bloggers are probably slightly mystified by our cyber lives :).
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photograph of Eddie...handsome lad.
ReplyDeleteThe genes must run in the family!!
Love the revelation!

Super Stuff, dearest Maggie, am sure you'll keep dear Eddie Bluelights in his place.
ReplyDeleteBoth the Maggie, Husband and Eddie's presence ensure that dear Sam behaves.
Looks like you all had a super fun time. Happy Birthday, dear Eddie.
Just you look after our Maggie, do you hear??? Mickle will be checking!
Looks like you had a great time, Maggie May--love the T-shirt! I ventured over to Eddie's but couldn't leave a comment because I'm using the wrong browser...but did see your photo:)
ReplyDeleteI have always looked after my big sister!! he! he! Looks as though I'll have to continue otherwise Mickie in NZ will be after my blood!! and others! HELP! ~ Eddie
ReplyDeleteI love the way these little snippets find there way to the blog. Happy birthday Eddie, now stop messing around and get back to work-you have a waiting public.
ReplyDeleteOk Moanie and whilst we are on the subject of family, kindly ask F,F&F to stop waving her arms so wildly, she almost knocked me out a while ago - sorry Maggie we are taslking on holy ground - I'll take my shoes off! Oh on second thoughts! LOL
ReplyDeleteI've tried to figure out which one is you in the picture, Maggie, but I'm not sure. I suppose it will remain an unknown factor to me. What a shame!
ReplyDeleteOK Maggie, which one were you in Eddies photo then?!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, Maggie, which one were you? Or did you take the photo?
ReplyDeleteI'm off to Willow Manor Ball, so there! Nip over and I'll tell you all about it, if I don't meet you there!
Now why can't I ever be out somewhere and run into Eddie Bluelights, or YOU for that matter? Am I just going to the wrong places?
ReplyDeleteGlad you all had such a great time!!
Hey, I wonder if there's a support group for spouses left behind by blogging?
i bet it was a real blast.
ReplyDeleteBet that was a hoot. Sounds like a good night out to me.
ReplyDeleteCJ xx
That shirt would suit many of us in Blogland.
ReplyDeleteMaggie, I enjoyed this lively post. CHEERS!
I'll have to pop over and wish himself a happy! Blogger Hell...that would make a good front...and blog this for the back...hey, maybe we could form a business...I see hope for us yet!
ReplyDeleteSandi
Mr. Blue Eyes (aka Eddie) just keeps showing up here! Amazing! So nice to make a new friend in you, Maggie May.
ReplyDeleteHugs and love,
Jackie
Sounds like you all had a good time Maggie. The T shirt idea was great. A x
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Eddie. Sounds like you had a great time Maggie and the t-shirt is terririfc. I had no idea you guys knew each other! What great fun that must be.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see all these connections!
ReplyDeleteHow hysterical! Are you sure this wasn't planned? Or was this pub the BEST in your area so that there was no way you wouldn't have picked another? I think it was karma that you two celebrated such momentous events together!!
ReplyDeleteHappy 65th, by the way. I just celebrated mine in Rome...a bit of a long way to go from San Francisco!
