How old is Bubblecar, anyway?

About 6 weeks older than me.
Many happinesses :)
Oh, and happy birthday Bubblecar. You won’t find a card via Australia Post because I haven’t got your new address. You could email it to me if you still have my email. Once upon a time I could have addressed the envelope with your name (not the Bubblecar one!) and town, and they would have delivered it. But it seems service, or offering just a little bit more than is in the manual is not the way things are done now.
Can we be absolutely certain that it is actually Bubblecar’s birthday?

In fact there are large parts of the world where it is not Bubblecar’s birthday.

It could be that of his twin?

It’s what the note on my fridge says.

Could go a holiday in the isles.

I had a family camping holiday at Oban about 55 years ago.
It rained every day for two weeks :)

One of my friends just spent a week on Barra. She said her crossing from Oban and back was still as. I only spent 3 days in Oban. I scored good weather.
Another birthday photo for mr car.
Somewhere one of my siblings has a photo of my maternal grandfather in a scene very much like this one. He was the sales assistant behind the counter.
This is 1860s USA.

I’ve just noticed you can’t see McCaig’s Folly in that picture. Doing a quick Wiki, I discover:
We are now supposed to call it McCaig’s Tower.
It is now a public garden. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t open to the public when we were there. I certainly don’t remember going inside.

I see nice photos posted from it occasionally. And there have been light shows there. Me? I think it looks like something MWSDB.

Here.
With each passing hour, it becomes his birthday in another place.
Ta everyone :)
Lunch went swimmingly, and they left me with many bottles of fine vintage wine, fine cheeses etc.
They also did all the washing up :)
Even a birthday treat from David Attenborough tonight:
David Attenborough’s Tasmania
Sunday, 3 Jun
7:41 PM – 8:32 PM
Attenborough narrates the story of a vast island wilderness – ancient forests, pristine rivers & spectacular coastline. Seasons vary from dry heat, strong winds & cold bringing wombats, wallabies & platypus out in daylight.

A superb moist ginger cake from Anna, most of it still left. It can be eaten cold or heated and served with cream.

Happy Birthday Bubblecar.
Happy anniversary of your birth day bubblecar!
Happy Birthday Mr Car!
Many happy returns, Car 🚙
Email received, thanks Bubblecar. I must have lost it because you are right about the cake…
Have we sung happy birthday and had cake yet?

Bubblecar snaffled the cake and hid it after he and his family had each etten a thin slither.
Woodie said:

About 3 hours ago he said the cake was almost fully intact.
Nothing since from him about the cake’s status.
Happy birthday! More cake!
Starting Day Two of the birthday with a cup of tea and a slice of cake.
