Well, you *are* older than me...

Forty years ago, I was only six

Fourty years ago I was doing my 'O' levels.

Fat lot of good that did me

Track racing done. It didn't rain.

On the plus side I wasn't last. Or rather I was last in one race where I bailed to save energy. Also, I appear to have scored quite a few BC points this evening (still a fat, slow, old 4th cat though ).

Forty years ago I was still at primary school 😄

Today was a good day.

Decent night's sleep
Sunshine, light winds & warm weather for the first time in a while
First 100k ride of the year
£75 on the Premium Bonds

Hopefully the rain should have passed through Kent by the time I get to Brands Hatch tomorrow morning, with nothing further during the day.

Forty years ago, I played as section leader in the London Schools Symphony Orchestra, 2nd in the London Youth and alone in the London Youth Chamber Orchestra. (Royal Festival Hall, Royal College of Music and London Guildhall.) Downhill from there.

I only ever got as far as playing "Three Blind Mice" on the descant recorder. Very badly.

I take my hat off to anyone who can play an instrument well. Or sing well for that matter. The cats run away with their ears flat back when I sing...

T'was a Thursday, if that helps clear things up.

It still hasn't rained but it is so hot and sticky.

I wish that there would be a proper thunderstorm to clear the air.

I got banned from ever attempting to play any musical instrument at school.

I did have a deeper voice than the teacher behind us* for one line of a song, which I murdered. That was in junior school, for the end of year show.

*Surprised the headmaster though.

Needs to either clear up or, as you say, have a decent thunderstorm. It's not able to do either.

In that case it was either additional maths, English Language, English Literature, French, statistics, chemistry or physics.

I can hardly remember what I did last week, let alone what I was doing on a Thursday 40 years ago for goodness sake. There may even be another exam subject to add to the above list, but I'd need to check the certificates, and I can't remember where they are

Your certificates give the date you sat the exam.

I am going to visit the Land of Nod.
