Happy birthday, Mum.

Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, Queen Elizabeth I, was born on this date in 1900.

Wouldn't it be terrible if you'd spent all your life doing everything you were supposed to do; didn't drink, didn't smoke, didn't eat things, took lots of exercise, all the things you didn't want to do, and suddenly one day you were run over by a big red bus, and as the wheels were crunching into you you'd say 'Oh my god, I could have got so drunk last night!' That's the way you should live your life, as if tomorrow you'll be run over by a big red bus.

Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon

Thanks, Mom.
