Happy birthday, Ukigumo! 🏯

[thomas]

Dear @Ukigumo, apparently, we are two days late; nevertheless, on behalf of the JREF team, we'd like to wish you a happy birthday!

(I hope you afforded yourself a shiny new blade!)



This was your first birthday since you signed up to JREF, and - once again - we're most delighted to have you on board.

PS: Once your BD is in the system, it'll never be forgotten again!

And a belated happy birthday to you !! Around about 70 , you kind of want to forget your birthdays , LOL.

Awww, that's very kind of you. I really was only joking about you 'forgetting', but I must admit, I am looking to receiving my present from everyone on the forum in the post, very soon. I hoping for a horse or maybe a car

I ordered a mid-Edō period tsuba featuring an edamame pod hanging from it's tendril (I love edamame ) and an Edō period 'kogai', decorated with peony (my favourite flower) and used by samurai as a grooming tool…to sort out their hair, scratching their heads under their helmet, cleaning their ears etc. Don't tell my wife.
