Happy Birthday. Sounds like great presents. I have a year and a bit before I get there, but hope I won't feel any different from they way I feeel now! The big 40 was no great problem, but then I did notice that things started to go down hill a little!!

Many happy returns on your milestone.
I have both of those books and they're excellent.

Many happy returns.
I hit this particular milestone last year which was coincidentally my first full year of my proper renewed interest in butterflies since my childhood days.

Congratulations - I'm glad you're enjoying your day (which is quite a special one).
In answer to the question, yes - I will mind, but there's not much you can do about time passing except enjoy the ride! (3 years to go for me)...

Many thanks for all the birthday wishes.

Many Happy Returns for yesterday and enjoy the books. Age is a state of mind. I still think I'm 18. Shame my body doesn't agree.
I'm the same as Michael, just 3 years to go. I hope to celbrate with a trip to the states or somewhere further afield.
