What's happening in your world?

[Farseer]

Yes, I was speaking of my birthday and, no, it's not on the calendar. Two more of the same and I will be forty!

My youngest's tenth birthday today so it's been a day filled with carting wrapping paper to the bin, a trip to town and back, a special birthday lunch, a visit to a dinosaur museum, fishing from a beautiful lake, and eating home-made icecream until we thought we'd burst.

The highlight was sifting through the pages of a newspaper dated on the day of her birth. It was amazing to see what a difference a decade has made....amazing too to sit down and read a newspaper without a snippet or even a hint of '9/11', 'Ground Zero' or 'the war on terror' etc anywhere within its pages. Yup, our daughter was born the day before the world changed.

We also bought another newspaper to mark this day, all ready to read in another decade's time.
