It's DH's birthday today. He's just opened a card from his sister. They're not exactly close but definitely no enmity there....or so we thought.

She's written, 'Happy Birthday. Hope you aren't well.'

I do hope it's a mistake. grin

Happy Birthday to your dh!

You say there's "no enmity" between him and his sister, overall. So unless there was a recent dustup or something, I'm gonna say it was probably just an error. If there's an issue, you'll know as time marches on.

After a dinner party at a friends house I said on saying goodbye to someone I had just met that night, "I hope we do not meet again".
I really did not realise I had said it, ok I did not particularily like the man but would never have imagined I would come out with such a remark.
He went on to become a partner for a while of a dear friend, I was never invited to functions when he was present, I wonder why?

Happy Birthday, Mr. M and hope you are well!
Might his sister's pen have slipped and she did not proofread ?

You could send a message back( "So far, so good thank you!) .

Enjoy the day, drink some Merlot! wine
