She so didn't want to be reminded

But she looks very pleased anyway and why shouldn't she be. It's only a number after all and it's more to do with state of mind/attitude to life than anything else. You're as old as you want to be, physical limitations aside.

Family round for dinner later. I've been prepping on and off all day. Shoulder of pork has been in the oven for the last 4 hours and still had 2 to go. Should be tender, about as tender as my groin after they cut a lump out of it on Monday I should imagine. Possibly tastier as well.

An update on the presents on tomorrow's blip. I mustn't let the cat out of the bag.
