Today is a landmark day in the life of the Auld Reekie Ranter - it's my 50th birthday.
As has been noted on this blog recently, the last few weeks have been difficult and there have been some major changes in my life. I have caused a lot of hurt and heartache in doing so and I am truly sorry for the angst I've caused.
Today, and even before today, I have been showered with so much kindness it has damn near brought a tear to my eye. Family, friends and even people I haven't met before - I'm talking friends of this blog and friends on Facebook - have been so very kind. I genuinely feel I don't deserve such kindness and good wishes and I sit here tonight, alone, feeling very humble.
I really appreciate all of the kind words. I was touched initially by those who thought it hard to believe I have reached the half century - however, this was tempered by further comments that they thought I was 50 several years ago....
I am having a brandy or three tonight to toast those who have made me feel so good today. Thank you.

Thank you Peggy and Joanna - you're very kind to the aged!
Ever noticed how with these 'age' badges that they get bigger as the age increases...
Any reason for that perchance... ;-)
