Soundtrack of My Life Up to Sixty

I am still very happy and euphoric after my wonderful birthday celebrations and I don't want to come down to earth. I had a very nice little celebration in work today and received a very welcome Amazon Gift Voucher.

I have not got round to getting time for catching up with blogs and I apologise.  I think things may simmer down by Saturday. I have included the first part of a soundtrack list I have made about my life.  My darling is putting it together for me. These are the songs that mean something to me from the first thirty years.
