Hi Anne... hope you've had a wonderful day ..

Hi Anne - sorry I wasn't around yesterday on your big day, but please accept my best wishes for your birthday a day late! Hope you had a great time with that grandie of yours - I'm sure you did!!

Hi Anne - thanks for thinking of me and for the birthday greetings. Haven't been on this site for ages. (forgot my password)
Have a great day too.

Hello Anne.
First, congratulations on being the 200th comment on my page. Guess that's not too impressive since I will be the one to contribute the 1,258,549th comment to your page.
Second, now I have to go back and look at all of the pictures to see which one prompted your comment.
Just kidding, of course. But I will have to review to make sure I know which one you're talking about.
Cheers!

Hi Anne. Thank you very much for the birthday wishes, they're greatly appreciated!

Your photo of Little Beach just takes my breath away! Absolutely beautiful!

I do have enough breath left to thank you for your birthday wishes. It's always a treat celebrating with my Sudoku friends. I have a hard time explaining to others how I can feel so close to people I have never met. I think we all do. It's a Sudokuland phenomenon!

Hi Anne from beautiful Albany!
Thank you for the birthday greetings - I did have a lovely day. :)

Hi Anne,sorry i have not replied to your post before now,no excuses just bad memory.Barbara and i are both well,apart from the normal aches and pains that accompany old age.I turned 70 two days ago and Barb is 69 on the 24th march.I see that you live in Western Australia,i have three cousins in and around the Perth area.I've looked on Google maps and they are a long way from you,that's one hell of a big state.My cousins are in Strathalbyn,Port Kennedy and Rockingham.I have relatives in Adelaide and Queensland to.Hope you and yours are all keeping fit and well.Jim.

Hi, sorry I never answered sooner. I ballarat, nice place, my parents grow up here but they lived in Gippsland after got married.

Hi Ane. What can I say (or sing). A birthday song, an email, an e-card and a post on my page! Wow! Thank you young lady! ....Greg x

Guess I could have at least spelled your name correctly Anne. FFS struck.

G'day Anne. Got your latest message this morning and reviewed the earlier ones.
Key West was a fun trip. We had been there before... About 40 years ago, so it was like a new experience.
Glad you enjoyed the pictures. Thanks for the comments.

Hello Anne, and thank you very much for your kind wishes on my birthday. It was a lovely extended birthday, and I really appreciate the time you took to make it even more fun!! I don't think I ever want to see another bit of chocolate!! Is that blasphemy?? Cheers Bluey

um i don't think so they might be a bit hard for me so BUY

Hi Anne. I was hoping you had posted the other fort photo. I think it was a great photo. Cheers!

Anne,
I went to this beach in 2010 and stood on the rocks looking at the bay, I turned towards the sea and saw a whale...it was awesome. I'm still a daily player but hardly ever comment. You and I have been to so many places I love having the photos revealed and try to guess where it is. Last holidays we went over Lake eyre and drove to Coober Pedy and the Flinders Ranges...it was lovely to get your message. I'm home from work recovering from an arthroscopy so I have a lot more time. Love Judi

Hello Anne, thanks for your note! John and I have been settling down to domestic life since we came back here from WA (that seems so long ago!).
My daughter got married at the weekend, and I am starting to tidy up after the trip to the Hunter where the wedding took place. How is life down in Albany these days? Cheers, Robin

Ah, my dear Queen Anne! Thank you for my b'day greeting! Yesterday my family went out of their way to celebrate my day!! I guess this advancing in age day isn't so bad after all! not when friends like you wish me kindly!!!

Thanks Anne for the Birthday Wishes, and the lovely Ecard you sent last night.
Peter is taking me out to dinner at the local Chinese Restaurant this evening

Thanks for your welcome Anne. I have been doing the puzzles and following the commentary for some time now. I have to spend some more time finding my way around the site before I start offering comments. That may take a while but I will get there in the end.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Love that photo of the bay.

Anne, in answer to your query on my page - I was ADC to the Governor General for two and a half years in the 60's and lived either in Government House Canberra or Admiralty House - or wherever His Excellency was staying at the time. It was a full-time, live-in job - 24/7 as they say these days.

Hi Anne, my health has been a bit ordinary for the last couple of months but I am happy to say that my cardiologist seems to have found a solution that works - at least temporarily.
ADC stands for Aide de Camp who is effectively the personal assistant to any high ranking officer. There were three of us, one from each Service, and we all lived in Government House. It was an extremely interesting, but fairly stressful life.
I hope you are keeping well. Anne sends her regards.

You have a brilliant memory. Yes, I served about 12 months as Senior ADC to Lord De L'Isle. But I started off initially as ADC to Field Marshal Sir William Slim (later Viscount Slim of Yarralumla), then 12 months as Senior ADC to Lord Dunrossil - until he died in office, and about six months working for General Sir Dallas Brooks who came up from Victoria as Administrator until the appointment of a new Governor General (De L'Isle).

so much for the birthday greetings! I always look forward to the 'birthday visits' from my Sudoku friends. (Almost as much as I look forward to seeing your photographs on the site!) And, yes, I got to wear my on my birthday!

Thank you Anne. It's been a fun 51 years.

Relax? Relax? I'll be babysitting my grandson, prepping up to be a docent in two nature preserve, and volunteering at my school! Yikees, did I bite more than I can chew! But thank you for the congrats! I intend on vacationing off season, especially a country, I have dreamed of visiting - Australia!!!

Thanks Anne, I had a very happy birthday, lunch with Anne and our daughter and a video conference Skype call with both of the boys - one in Canada and the other in Texas (temporarily). The marvels of modern technology!

Hi Anne, I just checked out your wonderful gallery. What an awesome part of Australia you live in! Just beautiful pics.

I have spent some time in Mandurah and Perth and loved it. Still Melb is home for me and always will be.

Cheers!

Hi Anne, Seems I have been remiss in answering your comment on the picture of CP & me in my gallery. Coming from one of the better, more prolific photogs on the site I appreciate your comment, but can't take credit for anything except supplying the camera. The picture taker was a young fellow, who was part of a school tour group, that I 'pressed into service'.

Your picture, at the top of the page, of Little Beach at Two Peoples Bay is truly stunning. What an idyllic location.

Anne, we are the same age now.

Hi Anne Thanks for popping by with your Birthday wishes. I have had a lovely day

Hello Anne, we are both Rats so I am only a few months younger.

Anne, if you were born in 1948 then we are the same age.

Anne, you don't look your age either, I think we both have held up well.

Thank you for your good wishes Anne. I’ve had a lovely day. An early morning swim, breakfast at a posh restaurant and a casual day to follow. Just perfect

Sorry Anne I need more practice at this as I answer on my page, not yours. Will have to work on this, but I'll get better.

Thank you for the birthday wishes. It has been a lovely day. Went to my favorite Mexican restaurant for dinner. The special messages from all my friends on Sudoku made my day.

Hello Anne, thanks for the note about the statue. I must have missed that boardwalk in Albany!! As I missed so much of it in any case..too big a country, isnt it. I do hope all is going well for you also. John and I are settled back here in Bowen Mountain (2753 is the postcode) and it's pretty cold at night. I bet you are getting similar conditions over there too. Have you had a chance to travel a bit lately? I keep wanting to make a move, but there is always some excuse or other. It may take dynamite!! cheers, Robin
