So, here I am another year older!
The occasion was celebrated in grand style with a troop of us (sounds like monkeys, no?), heading out of town to a hot pools bathing place. (Waiwera)
We all behaved impeccably like adults, if one counts making a big whirlpool in the circular pool, and then proceeding to play "tag" with much shrieking and splashing, as being appropriate "grown-up" behaviour. Heck, I do!
After the soak-a-thon, we invaded a 24 hour dining establishment (Denny's) to fatten up on all manner of carbohydrates. Very Satisfactory.

Spoke to my Grandma on the phone yesterday. She said: "Well, next year I'll be 85, so I'm older than you! Nyarr!"
This is one of the reasons I love my Grandma so much... she's as grown up at heart as I am!
