Thorny Brithday
Thorny Brithday, originally uploaded by malyousif.

I planted all the cactii earlier this morning, and took some nice pictures around the garden. They’re uploaded to my flickr account if you want to have a peek. Thanks all for your kind wishes again.
My wife and children are happy that I have taken up gardening. Now, they say, it’s pretty easy to pick up a present for me!
And today, Friday, is my 45th birthday, which is proving to be a very thorny one!
When two of my friends have opted to get motorbikes to deal with their mid-life crisis, I’m opting for gardening and I love it.
Have a wonderful Friday my friends!





And many mooooooooooore!!
Would like to wish you a very Happy Birthday. May you be blessed with good health , happiness and have a wonderful year ahead.
Happy Bday!!!
Many happy returns of the day Mahmood, and I think gardening was an excellent choice!
Have a wonderful birthday, Mahmood!
thanks all! you’re very kind.
Motorbikes are so cliche! Keep up the gardening and have a wonderful birthday, Mahmood!
Happy birthday Mahmood and many happy returns.

Happy birthday Mahmood. It’s mine on Monday so best wishes from another Picean and have a wonderful day. :biggrin:
Why was there an H at the headline? What the hell is thorny anyway?
Must have been a typo……….lah?
Happy birthday dude.
Happy birthday, Mahmood
Oops, that was me. Forgot to put my name ’cause all such info were saved and automatically there on the old machine :unsure:
Thanks again all, you’re very kind and I am privileged to have friends like you.
Romster, the typo was the addition of the “T” in there! :devil:
And that’s a monster of a Harley you came riding on today, absolutely beautiful beast which I know you will enjoy t the full.. just be careful for goodness’ sake!
Happy birthday Bernie! I hope you have a wonderful one too.
No worries Ahmed, it’s worth doing these things all over again on your brand new MacBook, it’s part of the experience!
My daughter Elysse turned 25 on Feb 22nd – so this time of year is very special to me. Now my cyber-friend has a birthday too. May you have MANY more!
BTW – this weekend I am going to post a photo of “Joe” on FLICKR – it will be dedicated to you – as you currently feel that you are “gagged” so to speak – you will probably appreciate the story and the pic.
No present – but something little to look forward to
MANY happy returns,
Mike
Thanks Mike, and please convey my best wishes to Elysse as well. I look forward to seeing Joe!
May you grow up to be a fine man
:kissing:
it has been a while since I have seen you- thanks for the :kissing: I will take it in good faith since my Birthday was not far back
Are you going to the GP this year?
Happy birthday to you too M.
Not sure about the F1 yet, haven’t decided. I might watch it on TV and relax at home instead…
Oh, and now that your boy is out, who are you rooting for? I’m staying red for the moment! :sideways:

What a coincidence that the first time I go into your sight in a long time, it is you BIRTHDAY! I hope there are many and I hope they are the sign of good luck to come!

Happy belated birthday, Mahmood! Here’s to many years of good growing. I was going to post a link to the acacias near my home, but I’m at work. I’ll do it later (i’m sure you’ll love it).

Thanks all again!
Barry, I’m looking forward to the picture!
BuZain, I’m glad that you’re inspired. I never thought I’d say this, but gardening is a wonderful hobby and you get to learn so much while having pleasure in playing in the sand
