I'm finding my 40s to be the best decade ever, despite feeling knackered all the time.<br />Love Kazuo Ishiguro. I've just read 'Burial Rites' by Hannah Kent. Excellent, but not super cheery. 'Teach Us To Sit Still' by Tim Parks is also fab, and v funny.<br />Gambare for your PhD.

I worry so much less now and the outcomes tend to be similar. BUt only thing I would do is explore and travel more ( I tended to revist places over and over rather than go to say - India or Peru.) I am still in the middle of Before I go to sleep that will be made into a movie with nicole kidman.<br />PS I find the 5's a lot more introspective than the 0's. 5, 15, 25, 35 - they were the ones that made me pause and re-evaluate so don't worry par for the course!!
