Wednesday, April 2nd. Birthday. I am thirty-five today. I am officially middle-aged. It's all downhill from here. A passive slide towards gingivitis, wheelchair ramps, and death. Adrian Mole is middle-aged but continues to write. He works as a bookseller and lives in the ashes of Leicester; he finds time to write advisory letters to Tim Henman and Tony Blair; he's locked in a deadly battle with a malevolent swan named Gielgud; he measures his expanding bald spot; and he tries to win over the voluptuous Daisy . . . Adrian wishes for a better, more meaningful world. But he's not ready to put down his pen just yet...
