This week I have mainly been smiling about the Mayor of New York’s comments, which I have paraphrased as, 'I know many of you have been concerned about my age, thinking I am too young at 33. I have listened and as of this weekend I will be 34. And from then on, every single day I will get older.'
And as such, since my last column I also became a year older. Apparently I have reached the age where you wake up and find you have pulled a muscle in your sleep!
