Nik Kershaw

One thing that I haven't mentioned about my birthday celebrations so far is the birthday card I received from Nik Kershaw. Yes, the Nik Kershaw of 80s British Pop music fame - he sang 'I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me' and created numerous other 'perfect' pop songs through the 80s and, after a hiatus in the 90s, released a couple of great albums into the 2000s. His Human Racing album was my first album purchase - on tape - and I have pretty much all of his albums in one form or another.

So, anyway, yes - I am a fan.

And M tried super hard to convince him to come to my birthday party and play a song or two acoustically. And from what I can tell, after liaising with this management and personal assistant it might have worked out - except that he then got booked to play at a festival somewhere in Europe that weekend.

So, in lieu of not being able to make it to the party he instead sent me this birthday card with a handwritten message and signature. Awesome. I'll have to figure out how to frame it.

Thank you Nik. But more importantly, Thank You M - it is my pleasure to turn 40 as your husband. You make everyday feel like it's my birthday. :)
