Bye bye 42.

A few of my favourite things:

Butterfly, bee, verbena, sunshine, drinking tea in the garden with Mum while she witters and lets me interrupt to talk over her or take photos or deal with the children.

It's my birthday tomorrow.

Again.

I have no idea how that happened. Something to do with the earth turning and my body ageing.

Was 42 the year when I found the meaning of life?

Probably.
Actually.

I really hope I get another 42 years. Its horrid not knowing if you have another 2 seconds left of life or if you will in fact live to be 102 but it's probably even worse knowing...

I've learnt a lot this year and the most important thing is to have low expectations, to take each moment as it comes; to hope and plan for a future but not to necessarily expect it for myself. I expect and want it for those who follow me and I hope I get a few more years yet.

Today I tweeted this: 'I don't understand why some people can't just "be" Why does there always have to be a planned activity, a point or entertainment to a day?'

Just be

(and butterfly ;o) )

PS The bee looks good large with its really cute back leg sticking out
