Another year older, another year.........

Bush & Ming waiting for their curry last Thursday in Battersea Wetherspoons

Guess the theme of the surprise party

Many happy returns of the day to Ming "Ming" Tiffany, who is 35 today. Bush has been a busy Bush this week, especially with this being the last full week at Hot Courses prior to her imminent return to the Guardian, which she disliked so much last time that Toto and I had to attend her leaving party just to make sure that she left. Anyway, after much soul-searching, she’s going back for second helpings, and I for one am delighted for her. In addition to preparing to leave, there has been Ming’s surprise birthday party (cheese & wine – wine for Bush, and cheese for the mice) to plan for, which has no doubt taken most of her energies of late.

Just in case you can’t make it, you can email your birthday greetings to ming@thebeeb.co.uk

Many happy returns Ming – you don’t look a day over 36.
