Another birthday has rolled round and I am somehow 58. Every year I am somehow X, where X=LastYear+1, the surprise never being what the number is but how unnervingly high it feels.
When I started this blog I was a youthful 37 (even if that felt old back then) and if I carry on for a similar length of time I'll be 78 (which is definitely old, unless I disagree when I get there). At least last year I could argue to myself that 57 was still mid-fifties but 58 is definitely late-fifties, as the end of another decade nudges inexorably closer. And reaching 58 is better than not reaching 58 which is the only unpleasant alternative. I have four cards to open. There is cake for everyone.
