Another year older today
Published by on January 8th, 2009 14 Comments »
It’s my birthday… I’m * cough cough cough * years old.
If you want to do some vague math, I found the “Please look after this bear” tag from my Paddington Bear yesterday and although I think I was closer to six or seven when I got him, the tag is printed with 1975. That stock of bears might have been in a warehouse for a few years… Another clue, I was five when Star Wars was released and I saw it from the back of a station wagon in an Indiana drive-in movie cinema. I also remember the radio news of the death of Elvis.
Truth is, I’m glad I had a childhood in the seventies, and with that comes the total acceptance of being in my thirties now. I don’t ever wish I was younger, as to achieve it would certainly sacrifice an important era in my life. I like being in my thirties, even the later ones. 
I may update this post later with a photo or more words, but I thought I’d get something out here as Daddy Papersurfer has already been around with birthday wishes on another post.

Thank you Phil!
Very best wishes, Jen! Here’s hopes that this is a fruitful and delightful year.
You gorgeous, talented birthday girl! Happy birthday. I’m so lucky to have known you this long! Thanks for being in my life.
The good thing is you’ll never be as old as me. Or as bald (hopefully). Felicitations young Jen x
Thank you Cheryl! I think this year is going to be wonderful!
Thank you Maddie! Perhaps one of these days we’ll meet up in some foreign city and toast past, present, and future. * mwah *
(ditto and you’re welcome!)
Thank you Penfold! When did you start surfing? As an old skateboarder, perhaps my goal of moving to Spain may inspire a new interest in board-riding of an aquatic nature…
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Thank you Kev!
Thank you Matt!
Happy Birthday!
Thank you Jodi! Got your text!
I was a mere 32 years of age when I first started surfing. There’s amazing surf on the north and west coasts of Spain (Galicia/Asturias) and it’s good in the winter in the south west (near Cadiz/El Palmar).
You should come to Portugal for a holiday and you and Tango can learn together! x
You know, that does sound appealing…
