It’ll be my 55th birthday on the 13th of this month.
My brother and sister are popping over for it, I’m rather touched and surprised to be honest.
Time certainly waits for no man, and what with one thing and another I’m not unhappy with my lot at the moment.
I had to go to my wife’s office building recently for a meeting with an architect about the new house.
It really hit home how old I’m getting.
I felt like I was in Google or something, everyone so young! Looking at me wondering what this old man was doing there, young people all convinced of their own importance and brilliance (as was I at their age when I worked in an office)
There I was, nearly the oldest guy in the building climbing and cutting trees still.
Still love the job.
