I heard on the radio yesterday that it was 10 years to the day that we witnessed the last full eclipse - I could not believe a decade had passed, as I could remember exactly where I was that day!
Now, what worries me is this is exactly the sort of thing you hear your parents saying about key moments in history, yes history, which makes me feel old again damn it! Like, where were you when Kennedy was assassinated? All of a sudden, these sorts of events are happening to people from our own era; Princess Diana, Michael Jackson...it seems like everything lasts forever when you are younger, but then before you know it, famous figures in your life start dying off and it really knocks you for six.
I know everyone dies eventually, in fact, this is the only thing that you can be 100% sure of in life, but it is still a bit sad. I can't believe I am 31...yes 31, just over three decades. I remember thinking 40 was very old indeed, but for me it is the next major milestone...time flies, but who would of thought that when you are sat in a geography lesson learning about long shore drift!
Not a lot more to say on this subject really, just wow, ten years of life has swished passed just like that - it would be interesting to see your 'best bits' on a video, like they do when you exit a reality TV show! I wonder what they would have been over the last 10 years??? I wonder what music I would put the footage to? I am thinking something upbeat as most of the 'best bits' in the last decade have been lively, as well as some of the 'not so best bits' come to that!
