Well, I was keeping quiet about my birthday but I forgot DeadJournal automagically sends out reminders to people... so 'thank you' to everyone who posted messages when they found out. I actually don't feel too bad about being 35. I have one or two grey hairs at my temples, my beard is a bit more grizzled at the front each time I grow it, and my joints creak more than they used to but on the whole I don't feel too bad at all. The times I feel old are always comparative, not absolute - by which I mean, I see the way ![[info]](http://piktures.deadjournal.com/userinfo.gif) stalkerofursoul and bluegutterfrog and the rest of their crowd interact, or the T21 Twentysomethings, and I feel old in comparison. But then usually someone tells me not be such a damn fool and I'm fine again.
I rang a mortgage specialist today to find out more about how much we could borrow to make the plan of buying somewhere in St Ives happen. We want a cottage that we can rent out to holidaymakers most of the year, and which will therefore pay for itself, but which we can retreat to every so often when the city life gets too much for us. It looks like the plan could be financially viable, but it'll take a lot of time to organise... we'll see.
So far, I've avoided anyone at work discovering that it's my birthday. The last thing I want is them appearing out of nowhere with a cake, like they did last year.
Mind you - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm cake...

Don't worry, I feel positively ancient compared to half the T21 lot too. And my joints don't just creak they grind too ;)
So anyway, happy Birthday :D
M. :D
Happy Birthday hun.
Hope you have/had a great day *hugs*
i saw it sent to me earlier that it was your birthday but didnt have time at that point to write.. so here i am to say.. Happy birthday!
you're only as old as u feel :o)
wait... you feel old... I think that was ment to say "you're only as old as you act" something like that
Go on, dig yourself deeper - it's fun to watch :o)
You're 35? Heck I'm 32 and I certainly don't feel my age. I positively older than alot of the T21 crowd but having fun keeps me young *blush*
Glad you had a good day though.
You are? Hell, I thought you were in your early 20s...
Random, I love you *kiss*
/me goes off whistling a happy tune for the rest of the day ;) | |
