    It still feels very odd, Gally :rotfl: same as it feels odd that I'm the age I am :rotfl:

    Lovely time yesterday with friends :j

    My router has been temperamental today, so I couldn't get on till now. But I have indeed worked :D on the letters my mum wrote when she was a teenager evacuee - and I can guarantee you it wasn't all Mrs Miniver land - it was definitely more about the clothes, the entertainment, the boys, and getting paid for picking the blackcurrants :rotfl: some of it is very funny :D

    Plus I used my dehydrator :j:j:j decimated the lemon balm, though I should have done it last week, the snails had nibble two thirds of it :eek:

    *And* I went a walk. *And* I've tried to figure out how to reset my central heating and hot water so I stop heating it when I'm not using it. I'm feeling very virtuous :D

    It's even worse when your kids are almost as old as you think you really are :eek:.

    37 sounds good! I like that :) I remember not liking being 39, because everybody new made lots of very tired jokes about being "eternally under 40", etc etc, and as I looked very young for my age till about 5 years ago :p it was Quite Annoying :p

    I was an idiot when I was 19, I don't know how I didn't come a severe cropper. 28 was great. 43 was great. 50 was a wow :) though I'd still rather be 37 :D
