Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday dear me
Happy Birthday to me!

Lovely messages and cards and presents!!!!  Texts and emails!! Thank you Thank you!! So many answer-phone messages as well. I am amazed!! When you get to my age you start considering your own mortality. You start to think who might turn up at your funeral for instance, and I've been thinking recently that I'll be lucky to get mourners into double figures. Then a Birthday like today's comes around and you think "Oh yeah" I'm not out there orbiting with Pluto like I thought I was.

I have to say, though, that the Skype with Hester and Moo-Moo gets top billing!! I had such fun out there and I miss them so much.

Anyway. If I do die. I want to leave my body to science fiction!. I'm not scared of dying. It's just that I don't want to be there when it happens! I'll leave you with those thoughts. The Birthday Boy.
