Week 1- Rob & Mel

Becoming 50 aint too bad.. it's a bit of a laugh , nothing more than a number - its the new 40, and that was 10 years ago! How bad could that be ? 10 years off the inevitable . the inevitable , unenviable inevitable. Vita! surrounded by my life I have arrived at the conclusion that time is limited and in my way of altering the inevitable I have mad a sort of commitment to spend time with friends , different friends , each week , to break bread, to make a happening. Just to touch base , to say I really appreciate you are in my life. It was my birthday on the 22nd July , It was marked by the birth of George Alexander Louis Windsor. We will always have something in common now. I will be his age + 50years and he will be my age - 50 years. I felt pretty low on my birthday. Really didn't expect that someone special in my life would have overlooked it  no matter  how difficult our present situation had been. In a way it is a blessing because when life gives you a dilemma then its time to make the dilemma-nade. Mel and Rob came to my rescue and invited me over for dinner and a day after birthday celebration with one big candle on a double chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and a rendition of  happy birthday  which sounded more like the mournful chants of rebirthers connecting back to the mother's womb than the saccharine tune it was meant to be. Their 2 sons were a refreshing reminder that teenagers can be human, humane and humbly humorous . The fizzysist joke will stand out. And a special thanks for Eliona who gave me a bottle of wine " the Jester" to lubricate the evening. The night reminded me that I do have friends  who care and it's high time I get to care back!
So in my mind I will imagine I have had a diagnosis of cancer on the cusp of leo and visit or invite them to spend some time with me.
