Yes, it’s today. I’m 70 (my birthday was in March but hey)! I’ll get rid of all the old clichés right now, didn’t expect that; wow 70 already; where does the time go, etc etc.

It’s all the more surprising to me because I didn’t think I’d get to this age, but I’m still quite fit and although I have a few issues with health, they’re not life-threatening and I’m in pretty good shape for a big lump like me. But enough of that, what is happening in the world today? Well, besides Harry and Meghan, Covid, Brexit, Europe and China, not a lot or so the MSM (main stream media) would have you believe. These main topics seem to occupy the whole of their time and effort. All very worthy of course and they are dominant in that one way or another they affect all our lives, but is that all there there is, really? Personally I can’t wait for the restrictions to lift so I can do normal things every day without having to think about them, lockdown has interrupted everyone’s lives I know.
