Happy birthday! Sorry to hear you are feeling L=low. I'll light my candles sending you healing wishes!!! And I loved my 50's! Wishing you a decade of love and laughter. 💚💚💚
I enjoyed this a lot! I used to be baffled by the dates in capital letters at the end of movies and TV shows and could only guess them if the number stayed on screen long enough, or the date was short enough. No "freeze-framing' back in those days!
A very very happy birthday to you dear Rebecca and hoping the next 50 your include a surge of energy back to you before settling into a lovely walking land writerly life! You have a book to write, after all 🤗❤️🎉
Happy Birthday Lovely Rebecca! I recently discovered via blood tests that I am Low in iron which has made me quite Low and sLow. Hope you do feel back to normal soon xx
Aww, thank you, Tracey! Ooooh, iron - good advice - I think they’ve checked that, but I’ll definitely mention it. Adding it to my list of questions for the doc! xxx
What a lovely letter, Rebecca! Playfulness with words and language is not a skill (or temperament) all writers possess. You seem to have received two servings. I’m delighted for you to have celebrated your L birthday with a bit of a getaway with your husband…and condensation inside your caravan. I’m at mid stride of year LXXV and your joyful state of mind encourages me to seek more joy going forward. All the very best. Always.
So kind, Gary - I appreciate you! I had such fun writing this post - it ended up being about all kinds of things I hadn’t realised would sneak in there!
We love our little VW camper (even though I had been totally against the idea to start with - but Jim legitimately needed one for work, so fair enough) and like to get away as often as possible. In the cooler months, though, the early morning condensation is a bit of a pain, but otherwise - to my enduring surprise - I absolutely LOVE it. 😊
Is “Happy Camper” in the dialect on your side of the pond? Here, its use is more of a general reference to a positive state of mind. I enjoyed reading that you had fun writing the post. I hope at least as much as I from reading it!
Happy L-th birthday to a Lovely Lady I have never met. I, too, am a Left-Handed Loser ( how that photo makes me Laugh. An entire post about the Letter L! There is absolutely a story everywhere. Thanks for an entertaining read over toast and coffee. Just Loll and Laze all week if you like and if anyone objects, just tell them Sharron said it was all right.
LEFT-HANDED LOSERS UNITE!!! 🙌 I’ll never forget when I made that gesture for the first time - I was sooooooo embarrassed when I realised my L was backwards!
Lolling and lazing is the way forward, definitely - you are a fount of not only superb writing but also of terrific advice. Thank you!
Happy birthday to my very clever and beautiful friend from the true looser (L) who despite having reminded myself all year it’s your Lth. Need to see you soon. X
Happy half a century! Love the socks. Hoping that your health improves and the you start to feel more Lively rather than Low. Hugs from afar.
Oh Beth, thank you! ☺️
LOL at the XL shirt story!
And Penblwydd Hapus Iawn...a very happy birthday from West Wales, Wet today😊
(I realise that looks like lawn, but it's actually a capital i...🙄)
Diolch yn fawr iawn, Janey! 🏴 Welsh is such a beautiful language to listen to, and its spelling conventions are fascinating. x
LOL! <3
Happy 50th! Welcome to the 50s club, it's a good one to be in xx
YAY! I’m very happy to be part of this club with you - thank you so much!
Happy birthday, Rebecca! I love the story of the XL shirt!
Thanks, Mark! Mrs B was absolutely wonderful, and I loved telling this story about her! 😁
Happy L! 🍰

Hurrah for the big five-oh! With five decades behind me now I guess this means I’m in my SIXTH decade! 🤣 And thank you so much, Sue. xxx
Yes, you ARE all of those Ls. Happiest belated birthday, Rebecca of many Ls. May you have many more. ❤️
Awwww, thank you, Mary! So far fifty is feeling pretty good! 👍
Fifty is nifty - so much power in the L!
‘Fifty is nifty’ - what a great phrase! 🙌

Yes it is! Often used in the negative, though - as in ‘she’s really not a happy camper today’!
