Kicking a ball around the backyard with mrs B's 5-year old grandson, I suddenly realised I was being eaten alive by midges. That coming hard on the heels of a lament for the midge by some fool who thought we wouldn't have any midges this year. Well, conditions are absolutely perfect this afternoon for the blighters. Funny thing is, they come out when the sun does. Sigh.
Anyway, tomorrow, I'll be another year older and another year's done. Such fun, innit, birthdays. I'm older than I care to think but such is life, none of us gets any younger as the years go by, although...
Recently, someone pointed out the advantages of getting younger. You get death out of the way to start with, then everything only gets better. You get prettier, more nimble, then you get increasingly pampered, climb up into a hot tub with food on tap for 9 months and end in an orgasm. What fun!

I think it`s really unfair that we have to get older, getting younger sounds much better to me...lol! We`ve got loads of mossies down south and they are really biting too. :o(

We are normally overloaded with your midge counterpart here in the Southern US when we get normal rainfall. They haven't been too bad this year due to the drought. Love the idea of getting younger instead of older - much more fun!
