Hi, dot. I guess from the day we're born our life-span is obviously getting shorter. But what gets me is the speeeeed of the process. Remember as a kid the Summer Holidays seemed to have no end? You measured you age in "half years": "How old are you now, Stewey, five?"..........."No! I'm five and a half". It's getting on now to be March, and it seems Christmas was just a couple of weeks ago! I hate it when people say "Oh, I wish it were Summer.": leave time alone, it's going fast enough. Right?
