		<description>@Ian - Sorry to hear you had a funeral on your birthday.  I hope the remainder of the day is relaxing and fun.

@Steph - Wine this early in the day.... no wonder you are always cheerful.

@Mairin - Lyrics on the way so you have no excuse now!</description>

		<description>Hey Grannymar

I've been reading through your blog for inspiration while writing up some pitches.  

Love this song...at one of my best friends wedding in Dublin a number of us tried to sing it but could we remember all the words? No chance.

		<description>"... and since this is a virtual party, things go further"

Oh! &lt;em&gt;Yippee!&lt;/em&gt; 

Does that mean the wine will go on forever too?

And if those birthday buddies don't turn up to the party soon, I'm gonna eat their cake!</description>

		<description>Hi Grannymar,

Thank you -  I didn't realize Baino was forty.

I love 'On Raglan Road', the line about 'not making hay' beautifully captures the clash of cultures between the old Ireland and the temptations of the new, represented by Dublin.

I haven't had a birthday party since I was very young so have no idea about who I would invite.  If I followed what I preached, it would be the people no-one else welcomed.  I will think about it as I travel to Co Wexford for a funeral.</description>
