Journal. Three Score and Ten
Today is my birthday If you do not know the meaning of a score it is the figure 20. To tell the truth I was not looking forward to this day. I realise it is just a number but on the other hand it is also a reminder. A reminder that the human body slowly but inevitably wears out.

Time seems to pass so quickly, it does not seem so long ago I was young and robust, now I start to feel the little aches and pains. I don't normally take much notice of them but on a day like today I am brought face to face with reality.

This morning I got up promising myself that I would face my bithday morning clean and well dressed. I rose had a shower, shaved and put on clean new clothes.

Postscript: I felt uneasy all day and although I took the day off I could not settle to anything. I had plenty to do, to occupy me but I could not settle.
