It turns out I&#8217;m now forty-three years old. I have learned by now that I&#8217;m forty-something. I still can&#8217;t keep track of the exact number of years, though, and have to do some mental arithmetics whenever someone asks. Funny thing, that. Eric could probably recall my age better than I do. Even Adrian can, I think, but he on the other hand cannot remember my date of birth. For him the age is more interesting than the date.<\/p>\n<p>Forty-three is a great age. I&#8217;ve had about twenty-five years of adult life and I expect at least as many more, before I might start thinking of myself as &#8220;getting old&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Eric made the lovely cake. It&#8217;s raspberry mousse and lemon frosting on a brownie base. Just the kind of cake I love best: light and moist and with a fresh, tangy, fruity flavour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy birthday to me!
