This is what 40 looks like.

First up, breakfast out with friends.


Then afternoon tea at the gorgeous Midland Hotel. Starting when the sun is crisp and wintry...


and ending when it's almost gone.


Then some laughing at a comedy gig with Mr Coffee.

So, 40. Not quite so horrific after all.

    Tell me you still feel the same way when your doctor has the "Now you're 40 let's get some baseline blood measurements," conversation with you. Or maybe that's just my charming GP.

    Happy Birthday!

    My, this comment box is full of young whippersnappers! Perhaps I'd better totter off to a more geriatric blog somewhere...

    Hope you got my insulting birthday e-card yesterday, just to provide a bit of balance.

    Don't listen to them - turning 40 is fabulous! You can still party with the best of them. Shimmy into that little black dress and put on your best killer heels. Now throw that blanket over your head and no one will know any different.
