Our whippet friends left this comment on my earlier musings which makes me very very happy because now I know what it means to be six. If it was good enough for Winnie the Pooh, it's good enough for me!!!
From the world's best writer, A. A. Milne:
When I was One, I had just begun.
When I was Two, I was nearly new.
When I was Three, I was hardly me.
When I was Four, I was not much more.
When I was Five, I was just alive.
But now I am Six, I'm as clever as clever,
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.
Happy for ever and ever!
Thank you whippets, thank you Ms. Patience!!!
Hehehe, I wish I was 6 again! Hope you enjoyed your big day, Jake! J x

Christopher Robin was pretty clever too. Half way up the stairs is the stair where I sit. He is so right, there isn't any other stair queit like it.

Now am I five or am I six? I certainly don't think I am clever as clever as you are.
