(The Cars)
This morning, another milestone in the long timeline of life ticked in by SMS - which is a flabbergasting development in itself for someone who was a kid when telephones were tied to the wall and had dials: DRIVING LICENSE!
This was the happy shouting of C (daughter for newer readers) on passing her driving test.
I've said before that I don't have any issues or troubled moments over the numbers ticking over on my birthdays - what's 28 and some months (a quite unmanageable number) between friends anyway?
But these milestones - signing your first child up for school, doing the same for the last, seeing your oldest voting in the national elections for the first time... And now, a driving license.
Dear Bob, then I realise that time has flown by (referring also to yesterday's ramblings on the speed of time).
At least I had the comforting thought that I could send back to her: Congratulations. By the way, the car's not at home; it's up here in my workplace's parking lot
