Sir W, my apologies. I too was at a birthday party yesterday and so missed this extra set of congratulations. 81 too, no one boasting that mightily at our gathering, nonetheless weather and company excellent. Hostess rather petard hoisted as had sworn all to secrecy and told biddy-in keep day free so that he could have choice of treats for the day. He awoke hoping to steer a visit to the motor museum (Jurby) only to be told he was staying put till the cake had been cut (and the rest of us half cut).
Butchers bill so far this year is light. No fatalities amongst either racers or bike visitors. A few have come unseated but worst so far is some broken bones. Nasty car job on mountain Saturday with two in hospital. Another as yet scantily described accident delayed road closure on Sunday (first race-day). No racing yesterday - too many birthdays. Low cloud delayed start today and from the sound of things there may now have been a false start. Fingers crossed it will stay relatively bloodless.
(That is Sir Henry to you, Bahco-bonce, surely one plumber should not be so disrespectful to another?)
