56


Today is my birthday and I am reminded of various things like some Kurt Vonnegut throwaway non-joke about a dying old woman who says 'how did I get so old' and my own grandmother's immortal line re: how she got so old viz 'I just didn't die'. In both instances I am reminded of these things while realising that I am not particularly old really and this is of course brought home by people I know, actual adults, aged 30something complaining/matter-of-factly proclaiming that they are now old. I don't feel particularly old anyway but that also reminds me of another grandmother (I had two) saying she still felt like a teenager, i.e. she felt the same way as she did when she was a teenager. 

That's all I have to say about this really. I am deeply immersed in writing my next book while planning the two subsequent ones, so this is how it goes at the moment. It's all good.

They say the year is 2021, and that you are fifty six years old.
Blah blah blah.

Happy birthday anyway 🎉
