I haven’t forgotten to celebrate the Community Calendar…it has simply kept itself clear in anticipation of the big birthday!
From all of us here at Ancient Armitage,
Χρόνια Πολλά!
Felicem diem natalem!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
(and BTW…thanks to everyone who pretended not to notice that I was slightly premature with the celebration of the Birthday Suit…I swear – I thought it was the 22nd yesterday!!)

Love it! Of course, the New Year label made me think of the Chinese New Year and the 12 year cycle labels. Should we have our own Armitage “year of the _____” labels? We could populate the year labels with RA’s most memorable characters. For example, the year of The Thorin could come in the 3rd month, March, as a nod to The Hobbit “trilogy”, etc. Ha! Cheers!
I don’t think you need to worry about the date — some people have been celebrating the whole week (which is considered unlucky in many European cultures). Happy Armitage Day!
I was wondering why there were so few posts yesterday…then I actually looked at the calendar! (Good thing I did – Mini Me’s birthday is the 24th, and there would be h%#7 to pay if I get it wrong!!)
Good thing I was off-comms so much in the last week, cos yes, major bad luck to celebrate a birthday early!! OTOH – it’s always good to give Armitage his due cos it’s us who read the posts and benefit. thanks all the same.
