Feels the same..

.. even though I've finally arrived in the second half of my century.. God help the kids if I make it for the full second half.. or extra time even!!   I kind of have a thought that we don't really know we're in the world for the first 15 years, so essentially I'm no more than 35 yet..

Zac and I spent the day travelling to and from Cardiff for a University visit.. a bit surreal when you get there and feel like you've been teleported to another country..which I guess you have. It's much more 'Welsh' than I remember it.. perhaps since it now has it's own assembly etc.  

It was a good day, we saw and learnt lots about the University and its armed him with a better idea of what he needs to glean from the 3 he visits this week.. yes, Bath, Loughborough and Exeter by this time next week.  Col's doing the first two and I'm meeting them for Exeter.  I went there myself '79-82 so I have to try hard not to take him on a Exeter equivalent of Mum's nostalgia tour, but hopefully what I can add will help not hinder!

Before we came home, we had a quick sortie into the town, got the obligatory pizza (Italian restaurant not Domino's.. but plenty of them next week!) .. and we had a beer each..me and my 18 year old son eh?!

We were dead beat when we got home and it was hard to be as enthusiastic as a birthday required when faced with a pile of pink pressies..but I tried!... failed miserably amongst people who know me too well, but as I said I tried!
