From this side of the pond 


If you want to take part or just see what others have posted pop over to Joyce's page - the Linky List is at the end of Joyce's post and don’t forget to visit at least your neighbours on the list.

1. In a single sentence tell us something about your 40's. If you haven't reached that milestone yet tell us (in a single sentence) something about whatever decade you're in now.
The kids were getting older, I went back to working full time and life was good.

2. Life begins at forty. Agree or disagree? Tell us why. And if not at forty, when?
It really depends on what you mean by life beginning.  For many people they might feel their life begins when they reach adulthood and can make their own decisions, live their lives the way they want to - and have to cope with the consequences!  Others might well agree that by 40 any kids you have might have flown the nest and you can begin to lead your life without the responsibilities that parenting brings.  There are different phases to life depending on which paths we take and some people will reach milestones at different times.

3. Share a favorite book, song, or quote with a number featured in it somewhere.
Three Things about Elsie by Joanna Cannon

4. A picture's worth a thousand words, a stitch in time saves nine, back to square one, catch-22, on cloud nine, my two cents...pick a number phrase and tell us how it applies to your life currently.
A picture's worth a thousand words I think - not being able to see family members make the pictures and videos they send so precious.

5. Last time you drove more than 40 miles from home? More than 400 miles from home? Where were you going? Was it before or after this current season of social distancing?
We last drove more than 40 miles from home when we visited Grandson Noah at the end of February.  I can't remember the last time we drove more than 400 miles although I suppose the driving we did in Australia could count?  We did a lot of driving while we were there but that was back in 2017!

6. Insert your own random thought here. 
Happy news - all 3 of my DILs are expecting babies now.  The end of this year is going to be busy!
