So yes, it was my birthday this week. I have made 63. My new target is 64.It was an enjoyable week, though sadly Miang was unable to be here as she is back in Malaysia visiting family. My sister Mary came over from Melbourne to "look after me". Mary is a very experienced nurse, and has been vigilant in ensuring that I am behaving sensibly. On Tuesday this week we were joined by my older sister Jeanine and her husband Murray, who drove down from Tauranga to be with us for a few days. It has been a wonderful family time.
Highlight of the week was a lunch at One Red Dog organised by Mark Hunter and the gang from the lab and Magritek. My family joined in (Jeanine left, Mary obscured) and had the chance to meet some of the remarkable younger generation that I work alongside.
Normally, as we get older, birthdays lose some of their charm. For me, this one felt like a milestone.
Happy Belated Birthday Paul.. much love, Joe and Sarah

Happy Birthday from Germany Paul!
ReplyDeleteAs it happens we will team up today with Simon Rogers, Adrian Blümich and Natascha Spindler (with partners) to watch the All Blacks vs. Springboks. And we will have a beer after that and have one for you as well. I'll make sure. 64 is a good target, 65 is even better. I believe in it!
Look forward to a birthday whiskey next February!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Paul!
