42
Not just That Answer, and nor just an episode of this year's Doctor Who, but the ripe old age that I've just turned.
Lovely day, with that previously mentioned Tomorrow People box set among my presents, and only minimal packing box moving and emptying.
42 is interesting, because when you hit that, you're safely into your 40s in a way that 40 and 41 don't register. I've never really had an issue with getting older, but at the moment I'm feeling a little like all those hallmarks of aging are starting to accumulate - suddenly owning a three bedroom house is certainly one of them. And so if I'm honest, 42 has hit me slightly harder than it might have had other timing been different.
It may be time for a mid-life crisis.

Happy Birthday – and just after getting into a new place as well.
Don’t let the number get to you too much – that’s all it is, a number.

What brand of sportscar or motorbike will you be buying?
Perhaps a tattoo…
Many happy returns and congrats on the house too.

Happy Birthday Jon.
Perhaps a pair of leather trousers?

OOh, leather trousers AND a ponytail! Nothing quite says mid-life crisis like a ponytail…
Happy Birthday Jon x
