You know you’re getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
It’s my birthday today and probably the coolest thing that will happen during it was when I was leaving Tesco earlier this afternoon.
Walking through the car park, back to my car, another car drove past and someone shouted out of the passenger window, “Happy birthday, Mark!”
By the time I turned around, I only got a glimpse of them. I think it was Amanda, who I used to work with. I shouted back, “Thank you!” and carried on walking.
Quite a few people were looking at me.
I kind of felt like I was famous.
