I'm now 87 years old, having experienced another birthday, and I'm still living in WA, single (gave up looking), white hair, no teeth, no money, no worries.
I plan to have another birthday next year.

Re: Greynomad's Birthday
Happy Birthday Ray, do you think a trip to Warrabilla to sample the range of Durif available and possibly working your way back home comparison testing could be a good way to spend a birthday? Why wait for a birthday I say

Thankyou everybody.
I am now officially ancient!
(And all my teeth are OEM!)
T1, what a great idea!! I shall start immediately!
First stop: our 'Corner Shop' — Rutherglen Estates, 50m down the road. Chambers' Rosewood is 100m across a paddock...
As Warrabilla is 20km away, it might take a while to get there... perhaps tomorrow. There are lots of stop-offs in between!

Re: Greynomad's Birthday
On the subject of wine-tasting:
Last year, when we celebrated my Big-Birthday-With-A-Zero, we topped off the Ghan trip with 3 days in the Barossa Valley.
We stopped at a very small boutique winery, and on the counter -- AVAILABLE FOR TASTING
-- the owner had a bottle of 20 Y.O. PORT!!
Naturally, I had a taste... Nectar of the Gods!
So I bought two bottles... naturally.
Problem: We'd flown to Adelaide. We were already right on the limit with carry-on bags, and our one suitcase was already stuffed to the gills.
"No Prob!" says owner, "we'll mail it to you for an extra $15. Write your name and address on this form and we'll dispatch it today."
So I did. When he read the address, he did a double-take.
"I'm sending PORT to RUTHERGLEN?!?!? Sir, I couldn't possibly charge you postage on that!"
And he didn't.
