Bon anniversaire Manderley!!! Plein de bonnes choses pour ta nouvelle année!!

Awwww thank you everyone....

I don't feel 40 at all. Maybe because I am not 40 yet Not before 10PM tonight anyway. As it's said in a French song "c'est peut être un détail pour vous, mais pour moi ça veut dire beaucoup" which translates with "it may be only a detail for you but to me it means a lot"

The truth is, I don't feel my age, it's more like I am 25 or 30. Maybe because I only began to live as a "real" woman a short time ago (not that I wasn't one before, of course)

Talking of the yummy bits, there's some smoked trout (much tastier than smoked salmon) profiteroles, raspberries and....... cheese !!!!! Well, I live in a country full of wonderful ones after all

Happy birthday Manderley, hope you have a great day. When I turned 40 it did hurt - in my knees, my hips - oh, that was the excess weight not my age .

Yay! Happy birthday Manders

Happy Birthday Manderley Only 40, you are still a baby
Enjoy your wonderful special day.

Just made it in time to wish you Happy Birthday

A little late, but I hope you had a truly lovely day. Forty is the prime of life!! Not yet old, but a lot smarter

Nearly over forgive me for being late to the party! Hope you had a fantastic day, and will have a fantastic year to come

Happy Birthday Manderlay

Otanjoubi omedetou, Manderley-san!

The birthday finished with a bang

In the end of the afternoon, my mum fell and injured her back pretty badly, so I had to go to help my dad because she was on the floor and couldn't get up.

The next day, E.R., x rays, scan, MRI, etc. It's not as bad as we thought at first, she just has to stay in bed 24/7 for the next 10 days or so. She has a vertebra nearly broken but it could have been much much worse so we're lucky

The days after, we took turn with my dad to look after her as she was at home but couldn't move at all.

Only now everything are beginning to go back to normal so, I am back and the birthday celebrations will be for April 27th, one month to the day. Why wait that long ? My nephews will be there so I prefer to wait for my boys and give time to my mum to stand on her 2 feet

As you can see, my 40th birthday have been absolutely unforgettable

@Manderley Sorry your birthday ended up that way hopefully your mum is on the mend.
Good luck with that But yes you'll always remember your 40th birthday.
Give your mum a big hug from all of us.
