40th birthday reflections

• Number 1 songs
• Born in 1976 (Born in 1976 answers)
• Cryptic London Underground (Cryptic London Underground answers)
* 1976 and all that multi-choice (1976 and all that multi-choice answers)
I also particularly liked the surprise flash mob!
Another great source of joy to me was the generosity of family and friends. I received some really thoughtful gifts, including some to do with my interests and some lovingly hand-crafted presents. I'm also really grateful to all those who bought me virtual gifts to spread the blessings far and wide. So far, I've got:
It brings me so much joy to know that people all over the world are benefitting from your generosity, so thank you!! (And if you'd still like to buy something, you can do so here.)
