Big birthday tomorrow (Saturday). I won't be taking the state pension. I just don't want to own up to being a Pensioner (pitiful, I know). Big UK (hopefully plus Europe) 3-man acoustic tour being plotted for the autumn. Good. Because up there, in my own light, I am 35 years old. But a grandad. Many thanks to all who sent Birthday cards. You are very kind.
