60 this year, July 13th and a Friday, good excuse for a long weekend except for the Friday 13th bit Anyway, my nieces & nephews & godkids etc had planned to send me wingwalking to celebrate but the Utterly Butterly, a truly beautiful yellow biplane has changed hands and is now in the possession of a French cosmetic company and they aren't allowing odd bods to walk the wings just to celebrate birthdays and such, which is a bit mean. Booo to the French for that.

My dilemma now is what to do to celebrate. The kids sent me up in a balloon on my 55th, Orient Express at 50, but what next...? Any ideas? What do other people/cultures do to mark these important ages? July 13th is the day before Bastille so a day in Paris might be amusing, Bastille is just an excuse for a street party but very French... so any ideas or thoughts would be welcome.

We have the same birthday!
