Thanks everyone for the kind birthday wishes.  But a raised eyebrow  , followed by a steely threatening gaze at Gary for calling me out.  I've been trying hard to convey an online persona of a much younger man.  Like someone Josh's age.  Thanks G, for blowing my cover! 

I must admit that until about 2 weeks ago, I was feeling pretty morose and grumpy about turning 50.  Like walking into a big dark cloud.  But now that I'm 50 +1 day, the world as I know it hasn't changed too much, and all my parts are still attached and functioning as normal, I'm actually OK with it.  Having everyone here for the weekend to celebrate and ease me into it really helped a lot.  So the coming decade is looking much brighter and I'm really looking forward to it.  It might even be better than the previous decade. 

Cheers,

Svend
