44: istr really enjoying being 44, I felt it rather suited me as an age. Tripled my income.

45: a very good year, one of my favourites. Some setbacks but achieved rather a lot. Finally came out of my shell, despite the best efforts of certain parties to prevent it.

46: complete fucking nightmare from start to finish. However, on reflection, I also achieved a great deal of which I am proud.

I’m not sure how I feel about imminently turning 47. On the one foot, I intend to kick 47 in the shins. One the other, I think it’s quite an interesting number and I’m rather looking forward to it.
