Out to dinner last night at the Crown with Mr C & Mr D. We were talking about the theory that everyone has an optimum age where you stop developing and are at your happiest. It does not matter how old you are now, go back to a time when you were at your happiest when everything else after it wasn't so good. You've got to discount marriages and births because obviously these things are the best things in your life.

I worked out that it was when I was ten. I was at the Chalfont St. Peter Church of England School and it was wonderful.

The ladyfriend reckons hers was when she was six, Mr C eleven and Mr D 14. It all began to make sense. My interests now reflect my interests then. It's as though we have to get over the hump of puberty etc and after we've done our natural wants (having Children, form relationships etc) we can go back to whatever age we want. How lovely.
