\"avatar\"It’s my birthday today and I am officially much older than really I feel is right. It’s one of those “How the hell did that happen?” moments. Mind you, I occasionally still get asked for proof of age, so I can’t be doing that badly.<\/p>\n

I’ll be pretty busy, so while I would normally find time on a weekday off from work to post some rambly nonsense about telly adverts or bicycles or computer games, you will have to wait for my considered opinion on Rabbids Travel In Time<\/a> because I have a cake to make, another batch of ice cream to start and a whole pile of vodka jellies to do.<\/p>\n

Yes, it’s my birthday, and I shall do my own catering if I want to.<\/p>\n

In the meantime I leave you with this image I captured using my (practically obsolete) mobile phone while out for a lunchtime walk last week. I love these colours. I love the scents and textures of these colours. My synaesthesia gives these colours a tang and a fizz. Imagine a curtain made of fine, bronze threads hanging in an open doorway on a hot Mediterranean summer’s day with the azure sea just visible far below when the breeze separates the threads a little. Now walk up to it until the threads rest on your face.<\/p>\n

Stick out your tongue.<\/p>\n

Someone coated the threads in sherbet.<\/p>\n
