My fifth decade on this planet


My 40th birthday has been and gone. No pictures from the party but thanks to all of you who came and I hope a good night was had by all. I suddenly feel a lot different after the birthday which shouldn't be the case I know but it is. I have decided to sort a few things out in our lives so that we can concentrate on bringing up the kids and enjoying ourselves a lot more than has been possible in the last five years of hard work.

I have taken the bull by the horns and done some accounts for the family and they are not as rosy as they were a year ago but assets are Ok and can be sold off if necessary.

So fifth decade resolutions?
1) Make a success of the businesses.
2) Make a success of the family which is currently working out well.
3) Retire before 50!
4) Do something big to help the planet before it is too late.

We may move on at some stage too but not until Maria has finished her "A" levels in four years time. Until then we will stay in our very cosy home here in La Pobla and watch Danny and Anita grow up. They love each other so much at the moment that we hope it stays that way although Dani is sometimes overenthusiastic in showing it and squashes her in trying to hug her.
