Middle of the month.

   I was wondering where the year is going, it seems to be going so fast, but there is nothing we can do just enjoy what we have and make the most of it. 

Had a lovely chat with a friend tonight and we worked it out that w have known each other over 40 years. Its really nice when you have friends who stick with you through life.
