Strange Notations From a Laborious Life

 Greetings! My Proton is going again. The NRMA came here this morning and jump started it and I left it running for 45 minutes and have now just taken it for a burn around Wanniassa. Nice to be back in the Jumbuck although it does need to be looked at by the Proton dealer as it is still missing a bit. Won’t chance my arm by taking it too far.

 Well it was my birthday on  Saturday and I must say I did quite well. Flash new phone, an ipod but best of all a couple of Nerf guns! They fire soft little darts that have suction caps on the end and I have already had a fair bit of fun shooting at doors and windows. As I pulled six darts off the wall of the lounge room I was thinking of what my Dad would say to me. “Don’t mark the walls!” A little bit of immaturity doesn’t hurt every now and again as long as you don’t make a habit of it. Am I right?
 I turned 41 and I had my parents and sisters here in the morning and  a few people around in the evening so it was very nice. One of the better “non-milestone” birthdays I have had recently.

 I can’t believe I have turned 41. I remember turning 30 like it was yesterday and I wonder where the last 10 years have gone. Things seem to speed up the older you get! In many ways though I feel I am in my prime right now. Physically and mentally I haven’t ever felt better although at times things can still get to me at work and home. The next 10 years should be good and I hope to make the most of it from here to 50!
