Birthday Blip!

Why is it that on my birthday I feel a whole year older than yesterday, not merely a day??Aedan is making a cake ,bless him. He had to be in town for 9.15 for a rugby match ( they lost ) so after town I raced over to the coast and spent half an hour tuning out on the rocks and took a few shots before the battery in my camera died. I had to be back for my first class at 11.
Two more hours of work now, then I'll be free for the rest of the day.
