I was born in Middlesex, England, which is really London.

Am I 53 or 54? I think I'm 54. I was born in 1941. So this year I'll be 55.

I took her outside on to a little roof terrace that looked like it never got the sun at nay time of the day r year, but there was a picnic table and a grill out there anyway. Those little grills are everywhere in England, right? To me they've come to represent the trumph of hope over circumstance, seeing as all you can do is peer at them out the window through the pissing rain.

I was born in Bournemouth, England, in 1943.
