As my readers will know, I expected to be dead by now. Instead I celebrated a wonderful birthday this weekend and we spent Sunday on a charity walk for the local RNLI - and the Sun shone.
It really amused me to receive this card from a half-uncle-in-law who obviously refuses to take on board the fact I no longer drink (and this is year four!) But then if you look in the card shops for suitable cards for someone in their late (very late) fifties, they either involve golf which is something I don't do, are smutty, joke about all the things you can no longer do in life (or are not supposed to be doing) or are booze orientated.
It my 60th next year, perhaps I should design a more suitable 'I don't Drink' card to send myself. Mind you, it is the thought that counts so I deem myself lucky to have received a card at all. I hope your next birthday is as full of fun, happiness and love as mine was.
