61 years of Quent

 Happy birthday, Quent. This may not be the first time he’s been comatose on the big day, but 9am takes some beating!

I’ve Googled ‘most unusual things to do on your birthday’ and the list is interesting. Yogurt on the forehead (Nepal), egg and onion birthday cake (Ghana), flags outside the door (Denmark), butter on your nose (Canada), pulling people by the ears (Brazil) and so on. Another site offers burlesque dancing, zombie boot camp and hovercrafting. Not one mention of removing vital organs – but then Quent never did anything by half.  Butter on your nose is just a regular Wednesday activity in our household.

I last heard from Quent that he was ‘all dressed up, ready to go’, outside the theatre. Maybe it’s not such a different birthday after all!
