    Yep, we’re not doing anything til the 29th
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    One more easy day (I hope), then its all celebrations! Katie’s birthday tomorrow, taking down decorations on Monday, then we’re off to Cornwall on Tuesday for 5 days to celebrate my *coff* 50th birthday

    Fifty! you look far too young to have reached that age, I do not believe it it can't be true

    One more week until you can apply for your Sunlife Parker pen and receive Saga holiday brochures. I hope you have a fabulous time away Paula in such a beautiful part of the country.

    Cow!

    There is a minuscule chance festivities might be delayed. Dom’s dad has tested positive for COVID today - Katie and Dom saw him boxing day and then spent most of yesterday with us…… would be Sod’s Law that, given I’ve escaped it for 4 years, that I would catch COVID days before this birthday ……

    Bit harsh don’t you think? I’ve been waiting a bloody long time for my Parker pen and a cheap holiday. They are the reason I am looking forward to turning 50 and as you remind me I ain’t that far behind.

    For once I actually wasn’t taking the piss.

    I hope you all manage to stay Covid free. Keeping everything crossed for you.

    But a free pen???? I saw on the tv they are giving vouchers now, £150 I think which is great and all but it’s not a Parker pen.

    Why are you not looking forward to 50? You have survived half a century on this Earth. You’ve had more than your fair share of crap thrown at you. Enough to floor others many times over but here you are, standing tall and not just surviving but thriving. You’re not standing still, you are pushing forward, striving to be more, refusing to settle for what you have. You are constantly growing and evolving. 50 isn’t just a number. It’s a landmark to show all you’ve achieved and you have so much more still to look forward to.
