This is me, Phil campbell, human being from England, son of an Irish dad and a British mother, I made it to 45 years so far on planet earth, if I go no further remember me that I had an adventurous life and that I felt loved and gave love to partners and a wonderful daughter, I never needed more than I really had but always pushed for the extra gravy that comes with life.
This post was scheduled using the fantastic steemauto.com website for scheduling post, let’s hope it worked, i don’t have to type or post today, I can just enjoy my birthday and let the day unfold, how awesome is that? :)

These list things are bullshit normally, you know the sort, written for views and traffic and instafame and likes and all that fake engagement but I really wanted to put together a list of forty five things on my forty fifth birthday, because why not, I’ve managed to traverse so far and survive for this long on this spinning rock of space dust and even if I don’t go much further I got to this point and can be pumped that I did, that’s why I included photos of a variety of places drinking alcohol because I’m celebrating this birthday.
So let’s get into this, this could end up being a bloody big post and I think I’ll be probably writing it from now until wednesday when it’s my birthday, I started this sunday the 14th and I’ll be adding pictures from when we are in the city of where we will be staying over night, I’ll be posting this one day after my birthday so I can recover and just drop in the photos and boom a post is done, this is called being prepared, I like to be prepared! :)
