Well folks, it’s that time of year again – another birthday on Saturday October 8th.
I’ve had 53 of these buggers before and this will obviously be my 54th – and to be honest I’ve stopped counting them or getting excited by them – mainly because I know that there won’t be another 54 of them. It would be nice, but I might not remember who I am or what I am supposed to be doing.
Mrs PM is taking me down to Chipping Camden in the Cotswold’s for a relaxing weekend, walking in the wonderful English countryside, sampling excellent British food and supping British ale (or maybe a continental lager or two too).
I might even treat myself to something nice.
I will try to enjoy my birthday – honestly. Mind you, it’s a struggle. But it is another year, another year older and a little closer to 60 years old. The good thing is that I am also a lot closer to retirement too, which I am really looking forward too, although in reality I have to wait another ten to twelve years before I can finally kick my job into touch.
I keep asking Mrs PM if she will let me retire soon and look after me – but she refuses telling me that I am in the prime of my life and look like a 44 year old. “Why retire?” she asks me.
She doesn’t understand.
Anyway, enough of this nonsense.
I’ll leave you with a few rock songs from my six decades so far. I love these songs and they would be great at a party!
I hope you enjoy them.
See you on the other side of 54.

A very happy birthday to you.
Happy Birthday! From one Libra to another. I will be 70 on October 17th - no plans whatsoever (tho I was thinking of getting a tattoo...)
Hi EC,
Thanks very much.
:o)
Cheers

Hi Grace,
I wonder whether, as a Libran, you are as indecisive as Mrs PM says that I am.
I think it's all nonsense but having said that, Librans are best!
Happy 70th to you. A great milestone to reach!
Are you serious about the tattoo?
:o)
Cheers

Happy Birthday for tomorrow! Yes, it's Friday here already.
54 isn't so bad, I remember it well, that was the last year I was happy in my job. That was the year the front-end supervisor's 2IC left and the job just went downhill from there. R was the buffer between the super and the rest of us, without her L didn't really have a clue about getting on with people and you couldn't tell her. She thought she was great.
Anyway, enough about me, have a great birthday, eat, drink and have cake!
I don't think Libras are indecisive, I do think we probably spend a lot of time looking at all the possibilities. I think we also lose sight of the big picture because we concentrate on the details, or that could just be me.
Hi River,
I ate, I drank and I even ate cake!
:o)
Cheers

Hi Grace,
Nope - that's me too.

Cheers
