A blog a day helps you work, rest, and play

I suspect that dates me to many, as some people who read this may not remember the seminal advert from which this quotation is ripped. Ho hum.

I remembered the birthday of a very good friend of mine a few weeks ago. I am not generally good at remembering friends' birthdays - I either remember them when it is rather too early to do anything about them, or the day after. Still it was an important birthday for this friend - a zero birthday. I spoke to her on Thursday - the birthday eve. - and we were not even allowed to mention the b word. So I'd like to say here, to the whole world that I meant it when I said that she could easily pass for 10 years younger (though perhaps not quite as young as me!), and that zero birthdays really do only mean that you are one day older than you were the day before.
