Thanks again to all for the best wishes....
Despite not having a scantily dressed lass bursting out of the cake to perform a lap dance, it still was a pretty good day. 
It was quiet because I spent several hours at the hospital to be told I have gall/kidney stones... but it could have been much worse. Yeah, they flared up and hurt like a bitch, but eventually settled down by the time I got home so I was able to enjoy a nice meal and the rest of the day.
Yup, the day finished much better than it began, so I'm happy.
