I'm dealing with my some RL angst this morning. It's my partner's 50th birthday. Not even the complete Father Ted boxset has made a happy bunny of this boy. :sigh:
I smell of dust, old books and bluebells. Heavy, heavy angst..

Too cool for subject
Once he watches a few eps, he should feel better. I defy anyone to remain sad when Fr. Ted is in the offing!
::is a huge Ted fangirl::
Too cool for subject
Hopefully we will both get to watch some FT later, though.
You and me both!

Ah well, Boston Legal and Suburban Shootout are on later. That might cheer him up a bit since he's resolutely refusing to go out and 'celebrate'.
Too cool for subject
I don't blame him for being down about that. I tend to think of Saga as being for over 60s - not 50s.
Too cool for subject
Hee... oh, it's there for me too. Not yet, but defo coming over the horizon. Man - where did my life go? That was quick! O:
Too cool for subject
Hopefully, watching FT should cheer him up.
Sending hugs your way.......
Too cool for subject
Thanks for the hugs, anyway. ASre they for me? Or him (in which case I might have to glare disapprovingly).
::G::
Too cool for subject
However, if you are feeling generous you could always share. *G*

After watching my best friend die of cancer when she was 40 and I was 44, I have little patience with it. I would give ANYTHING and I know she would too, for her to have turned 50 a couple of years ago.
I don't mean to be nasty, but it DOES tend to put it all into perspective.
(I'm about to be 56 btw. =>} )
p.s. What is SAGA?
Too cool for subject
Urm... I was only having a laugh. he's not sitting around sulking or anything! And 50's a pretty big milestone.
Since his mother died of cancer at 52, I guess he has a right to be a little introspective. In 2 days it will also be the 1st anniversary of his dad's death, so I guess that's on his mind too.
Saga's an organisation for the over 50s, btw.
Too cool for subject
Here we have CARP! No kidding. Canadian Association of Retired Persons or something like that. In the States, I think it's AARP. Heh heh! =>}
Too cool for subject
It's OK. The whole things's a bit emotive for everyone, I guess! We went out and fed the ducks today - had a nice time. We have wine, it's a good night for telly, we're having a lovely evening. Hope you are too ::smiles and waves::
Carp! How BIZARRE! Which reminds me, we saw a really huge fish leaping for mayfly today. Amazing sight. I probably enjoyed the baby ducks more, though :G:
Too cool for subject
We get a couple of family of ducks at the little beach by our cottage every summer. We get to watch them grow from fluffly tiny ducklings with brown stripes, to almost mature "teen" by the time we leave for the Fall.
We feed them cracked corn every morning and they all come running up from the beach as soon as they hear us shaking the container. So cute! =>}
Too cool for subject
Ducks truly rule. They're such an interesting shape. :G:
Too cool for subject
Watching the little families waddle up to the corn is so funny! =>}
