h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This time last year, I was counting down the days to my 50th.
There were big plans and loads of celebrations.
Loads of cards and pressies.
A day trip out with certain friends and rellies and then a meal out on the night with others.
I had loads of cards and well wishes and general fuss from everyone I knew at the time.. Both online and in real life.


This year..... its just a few days to go and I havent even given it another thought. No plans made. No idea as to what I would like for anything. Pressies or activities..
Ive been told I have to celebrate as its in 'the rules'.. (whose rules, i dont know)

All i know is..... i dont want to be 51 on sunday

You sound as if you have lots of family and friends who love you. If you have that and your health just be thankful for another year in this wonderful world. Old age comes quite fast enough - don't meet it half way!

You are no different now than when you became fifty are you so what's up? Or shouldn't I ask?

Have a Happy 51st. birthday and enjoy St. Georges Day, and every day between now and then,

{literal}every year may you be at peace

forget age, just enjoy each and every day
with this year more so

Lady H, you're just as lovely today and tomorrow as when I met you. The numbers don't really matter at all. So may Sunday, and EVERY day be fine ones for you.

nothings up.. i just dont have the enthusiasm.
i do have my health, well its better than some, but i am noticing things are going wrong that bit more often.
the slow decline has started
