"The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age."

...so said the great and late actress Lucille Ball...well I think I live fairly honestly, but I eat fast, and being an original member of Duran Duran I cannot (thanks to the wonderful wikipedia) lie about my age so...it's the time to embrace a new half century, which incidently, in cricketing terms, is definetly only half way to glory!

When I was younger my favourite James Dean quotation was 'Dream as if you will live forever...live as if you will die today.' Pretty cool to follow when you are 21, but today I will leave you with this one from the 19th century American poet Lucy Larcom: 'Whatever with the past has gone, the best is always yet to come'!

Many many thanks for all the kind messages, cards and gifts that have come over the last week or so.
