45 today. A quiet day, busy at work, no time to reflect or look forward.
I'll read some blogs at dinnertime. And tonight I'll watch telly and drink wine with my favourite human being of all time.
Christ, isn't my diary boring and twee?
Is postmodernism to blame?

ReplyDeleteTwee is good. Happy birthday, 45 has always been my lucky number.

ReplyDeleteBuoyed up after watching the inspirational Royal Command Performance last night, I think you should hit the Victorian Restaurant again tonight.
Bonne Anniversaire!!!
