Sunny birthday

Another year younger today, and where better to start birthday celebrations than a brisk walk in the sunshine on the wonderful Portobello Beach, Edinburgh's seaside.

As well as it being my birthday, it is also the following people's birthdays:

Stephen Sondheim (84), composer and lyricist
William Shatner (83), actor
George Benson (71), musician
James Patterson (67), author
Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber (66), composer
Lena Olin (59), actress
Matthew Modine (55), actor
Beverley Knight (41), singer
Reece Witherspoon (38), actress

I hope everyone has a great day today.
