43

I turned 43 today.

I feel it and look it!

A year and a half of dealing with T1D has aged me.

Being a year and a half older has also aged me.

These are the pearls of wisdom I offer you today.

The day I became a year older.

The day Sev took me out for breakfast to The Food Company for eggs Benedict and coffee.

The day I took flapjacks to my Knit and Natter group.

The day Frank cried at lunchtime because I wasn't there to give him his injection and sometimes only Mummy will do.

The day my Mum went into hospital for a wrist operation.

And the day my love took me out to see the English/Argentinian (with Tango music) Romeo and Juliet at the Mercury Theatre.

A good day.
