reflections on a birthday
at the tender age of 38 this is what I know...
- When you are mindful of the time, you are as late as you think you are.
- I still have a wonderful wife.
- Reading her card in bed just after midnight by improvised light is romantic.
- Tesco's is the place to go if you buy cakes for the office.
- Geography does affect ability to receive mail but not as much as time does.
- Sometimes when the office is empty I like to play music.
- There is such a thing as too much cake. But not when you're in a team of 30 with three dieters and a coeliac sufferer.
- Fortunately I also have chocolate.
- Suck is inversely proportional to flow.
- Some people are indeed never satisfied...
- ...so screw 'em! :o)
- You may have water and a horse but not make it drink. However if you've got no water, you have a thirsty horse...
- When asked to keep a secret, keep in mind the other party may not realise telling everyone is counterproductive.
- There is such a thing as too much curry.
- Blueberry & violet mojito is very nice indeed.
- Limitations are okay. They let you see the world without overflowing into it.
- If you can't see it, you can still ride it. Just don't expect it to make sense to someone watching.
- Never take a seamstress to a film with marvellous costume without realising it will feature in the conversation.
