30th April 1969 - 2020
Another year passes and while I knew my 50th birthday last year would be bigger and more exciting I never expect my 51st birthday to be this different in so many ways. So having made simple plans for a week off, to hopefully go and enjoy some horse racing and visiting friends, sadly this year it'll be a quiet one at home. And I've made peace with that situation, now cancelled the week off that was booked and although now working at home, it means I shall make different plans to spend some time getting some of my models out for a test and run. In particular need to get Dads O Gauge items out as not been able to get to any open days recently and of course they too are all cancelled for the time being.
Aside from the cancelled horse racing to my regular 'local' meeting at Ascot will be missing other friends birthdays and it was their turn for 50th do's so I hope they stay safe and when this is all over perhaps we can do something together to celebrate. For my birthday I used to plan a nice "present" to myself, alas that seems unlikely this time around, but always on the look out for something to add to my N Gauge model collection. Though I was supposed to be away to Isle of Wight and also had plans for a trip to Swanage or up the York. All this can go back on hold for a while though. Instead I'll just have a quiet day, open a bottle of something nice later on and raise a glass to everyone, especially our hero's in the Health Services, and other front line staff that are keeping as many people alive as we can.
Happy Birthday Me!!
