And as to when I'm going to finally get around to ever finishing the posts I keep yarring on about, well..."Frankly my dear, I have absolutely no idea.."
"I'd also like to say a big heartfelt 'Thank You!' to all of you out there, who have taken the trouble to read my posts and leave such a variety of thoughtful comments on so many occasions along the way. Your attention and remarks are of great value to me and will continue to be enjoyed and highly appreciated - Truly. Phil."

MAD AS A BOX OF FROGS
happy birthday!
Steve in Leamington Spa: Thank you for the illustrious salutations. I will therefore favourably consider renewing your membership to my blog, for yet another year.
Kate is sat on my lap ‘blushing’ right now by the way.
I…on the other hand, am not blushing. Although I have gone a little pink, pasty and goggle eyed in the last few minutes…
Jane & Lance in Budapest: And many thanks back to you two too, for your kind comments. It’s a pleasure shared I promise you. Glad you escaped safely from our south east coast once again. The farting penguins were a very lucky find yesterday evening. Uniquely delightful. This was nothing remotely like the posting I was trying to finish for yesterdays occasion. I literally threw it all together in the final few minutes before the clocks chimed at midnight, to mark the date and avoid turning into a frog. Sighh…
Valerie in Colorado Springs in early Autumn: Aaaaahh…gee thanks a bunch back ‘continental cuzz’, what a jolly fine hippy happy singing voice you have there too. I was cooking up ‘Stage 1’ of a mega size bin of my own Spag Bol sauce recipe and a similar mega size tank of Coq au Vin. I’m warming myself up for ‘Stage 2’ in the next half hour or so. Just about to don my ‘best dress apron’ and ceremonial cooks knife in readiness for joining the heat of battle once again. Big pre-sweaty blogger hugs back then V. P.
Riddles in North Wales: “MAD AS A BOX OF FROGS.” Last night, I jolly nearly was too John Boyo. Fazza Froggy was chirping out loud all last night. Couldn’t shut him up for a second!
Thanks for the well wishes me old leek.
Happy blogiversary...and if you can produce all that as a last minute attempt to beat the clock together with cheffing and doing goodness only knows whatelse (best not to enquire, perhaps)...well, all I can say is...we'll make a woman of you yet...
'MAD AS A BOX OF FROGS'...I like that!
Hi Fly Rica in Costa Rica! Ta ever so for your comical comment. Make a woman of me yet?! My, that's truly praise indeed, and not the least because it comes from you Fly. I'm seriously flattered, honest, as well as chuckling out loud! Thank you. All I need to get to grips with now is a hoover and washing machine while I'm feeding the babies then.
John's 'Mad Frogs' phrase is a goodun init!
Ok, so you think chickens with arms are remarkable...but farting penguins!? Well, at least Henny would be able to cover her nose! Sorry for being a bit tardy with my wish for you, but here it is: Happy Blogthday! Or maybe, Happy Anniblogsary? Anniversablog, Blogaversary? I could go on, but I'm afraid it's time to walk the dog ;)
‘E’ in Seattle: Re- “so you think chickens with arms are remarkable...”
Well ding dang right I do ERS! You never heard a penguin fart then?! Where you bin lady?? All that plankton and prawn gas, let alone trying to scoff it all down to the constant rise and fall of your dining room on the ocean – well don’t you think even your rummy tum tum would be hard pushed not to unleash some of the old residual natural methane ‘post deserts’ so as to speak?!
As for self basting chickens with arms, well give them another twenty million years from now and some of Darwin’s theories may by then have proved you more prescient than just plain creatively barmy. Unlike ‘moi’ of course!
Merci pour tout les nice salutations and silly ‘ogsary’s’, ‘versablogs’ and ‘versary’s’ - ‘E’!
Ahem....I beg your pardon, but I am NOT a bin lady.
;) (Henny is thumbing her nose at this one)
Happy birthday blog - and many happy returns as they say. Good company mind - I was 50 on the 19th too . That's me, who was 50, not my blog - though clearly they're connected, in fact You could say.... I'll stop ths nonsense now.
Yawn & revised edition, specially for thou and clucky cluck over there…

Cripes and Crikey Mark…and a great big bloggy ”HAPPY BLUDDY BIRTHDAY TO YOU BLOKE!!!”
Sorry Mark, I had no idea mate, I thought you passed that marker back in the 70’s!?? It never occurred to me that you might still be a mere whipper snapper like moi. Mein got! We could have had a great big joint she-blogger-bang too, chewing the fat and conjugating our verbs all the way to dawns early choruses.
Well I hope you had a memorable one, that’s all I can say Mark. Tis a special milestone to have accomplished, especially as the saying nowadays is that 50 is the new 40! Which means that your new and wonderful life has only just started – excellent!!
I had mine a couple of years back in a wonderful small ‘off piste’ basement restaurant in Barcelona, surrounded by the most warm and friendly crowd of Catalan co-diners you’re ever likely to meet. There was so much joy in that place, let alone the stunning food, that I didn’t want to leave – and not a single tourist within 100 metres. It took about twenty minutes just to hug my way through everybody on the pavement outside at half past stupid o’clock in the morning. Hugely special, and will never be forgotten!
Very many happy returns to you Mark, and may the next fifty ans remain even healthier and happier than the last fifty ans! Xx
Dear Mr Bash,
My husband and i would like to take this opportunity to wish one's blog, a very happy anniversary.
If one would like to make oneself available at this one's house sometime, I will make sure that 'one' is presented with something nice and glittery, with an 'E' on the end of it.
'We' like your blog too BTW. See, 'we' knows you know, don't 'we'.
Must tootle off now, corgis need a 'pee', then it's banquet time again. See one soon, 'one' hopes.
Your Queen.
XX.
