Here I am, awake in the early hours of the morning again because of back pain. It's an almost nightly occurrence, six nights out of seven most weeks.
However, this morning my pain is sugar-coated because I have just realised it's my birthday and I'm 64 today
When I'm 64, the title of the song by Lennon and McCartney, a song from the excellent album Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, the first line of which is-When I get older losing my hair-must have been written with me in mind Ha ha. Indeed, for many of us, male and female. Then there's also Birthday greetings, bottle of wine.
Sounds good to me
Take care and stay safe everyone

Hi Tvman I do hope you had a very special 64th Birthday and had that bottle of wine with lots of birthday greetings!
I am sure, like the rest of us here, it just feels like a miracle having yet another birthday!!
I know exactly what you mean about being awake at night. It makes the night seem very long indeed.
Have you had any word about when your op is to be? I hope soon and it helps!
Love Annette x
Hi everyone, thanks for all your birthday wishes. I had a pretty uneventful day, lots of relaxing, a little work in the garden and watching the snooker on the telly. Alexa played "When I'm 64" a few times during the day. My son who still lives with us made me a lovely cake with fresh strawberries on top. I like doing jigsaws and, if you look carefully, you'll see little jigsaw pieces on top also.
Unfortunately no word about the elbow operation yet, Annette. I've been waiting for 4 years and I expect it'll be a few months yet.
Take care and stay safe everyone
Tvman xx
