Hi! Did you all forget? It’s the 4 th of November, Dan’s birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAN!
We can use Cat singing Happy Birthday song video from Jeff’s birthday, one of the most beautiful video
I have ever seen.
And you love cats, Dan.

Hi! And as Dan loves hills, a short poem to him by Dorothy Parker:
“The stars are soft as flowers, and as near;
The hills are webs of shadow, slowly spun;
No separate leaf or single blade is here
All blend to one.”

In my defence, they hang from my side and I picked up their leaves.

Happy Birthday, Dan!
Today I have said ‘Happy Birthday’ to 3 people.
