pretty shocking to hear this , poor chap .not a nice thing to happenA bit of excitement today, as one of our light industrial units caught fire. The tenant has used it as a workshop for his lawnmower repair business for many years. He was loading his van, and it went off like a bomb had hit it, no idea what set it off. When I got there there were no less than 5 appliances in attendance, and a good 30 firemen.
In the few seconds of grace the guy managed to go back into the unit, and with some difficulty retrieve his young dog, whose lead had got wrapped around a compressor. He had to be checked for the potential effects of smoke inhalation, but both he a the spaniel were, thankfully, OK.
The blaze was fierce and spectacular, fed by exploding lawnmower petrol tanks, aerosols and gas canisters, with a pall of dense, black smoke. It was however effectively contained by the fact that it was an old wartime prefab, and thus made of asbestos. There was no damage at all to neighbouring units, but the firemen had to put on full hazchem kit, and decontaminate everything afterwards.
I have to say, it was pretty shocking to see how quickly that fire got a hold, and how destructive it was. The fellow has lost everything that was in there, and will have to start from scratch. Even his phone, with his client list on it, has gone.
Don’t worry about it. It’s old compared to some, not to others. Just a number. Yes, it does feel odd when you think about it. A few months ago I went to a chemist to get a pack of LFTs. The pharmacist asked me how old I was. “Sixty-f...” I started, before thinking that couldn’t possibly be right. I stopped and thought for a few seconds while he probably thought ‘daft old git’, realised it was definitely true and confidently shouted ‘sixty-five!’ A cathartic moment.Day off work today, on account of my birthday. Getting my head around being 60. Seems a bit alien to me. When I was little, 60 was old.
I always give my age like today, 69 and 3/4…Don’t worry about it. It’s old compared to some, not to others. Just a number. Yes, it does feel odd when you think about it.

There's nothing wrong with being 55 or 60 or 65. There's plenty wrong with pretending to yourself that you are not.
Have a great evening!
