Life begins

June 27 1972. An unremarkable day for most but an important one for me. And here I am 40 years later wondering where the time has gone.

I took today off work to spend the day with Gillian and Daisy. The weather put a dampener on any plans for a family day out but we've had a good day nonetheless. A lazy morning with cards and presents, brunch at Mimi's, phone calls from the family back in Manchester and a curry at Suruchi Too. And back in time to watch the footy and enjoy a glass or two of bubbly. Happy days. Here's to the next 40.
