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). :D
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)... :roll: :wink:

Many thanks for all the birthday wishes.

I am enjoying reading the books and await the butterflies to photograph.

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.
