 I turned 60 yesterday. I didn't want much of a fuss about the milestone, although I do admit in quieter moments, I was a little reflective in my acknowledgement that I am now three-quarters the way there. (If one can assume I'll be granted eighty!) One of the highlights of the day was knowing that, with the kind support of friends and strangers, the Bold Ben Hall Kickstarter campaign had reached its $10,000 target. Many thanks are due to the so many people who really believed in the project, even when I was harbouring some doubts about a week and $2000 out from the end-date... The other highlight was spending the day with three of my grand-daughters, and impressing on them the importance of living your life the way you want. After we had spent the day before swimming in the local Lagoon, on my birthday we went for the less conventional. We had Birthday Cake for breakfast, and Weet-Bix for lunch, before spending the day watching movies Paddinton Bear and Arthur Christmas in the air conditioned comfort of our home. After the girls had travelled home, Carlene and I spent dinner with a couple of good friends at the local Leagues Club (by which time I was really hungry for more substantial fare). Many people also sent some lovely personal messages, for which I am grateful.
