Mrs Gu comes home dressed in a twin-set and pearls :scared:
The dust settles on the backs of my hands whilst waiting for chat in the chatroom..
Someone replies to a post of ours - 2 years after its been posted....
The cobwebs in my head are distrubed by a thought process.....
My son tells me that my i-phone is ancient technology.......
Turned-up flared prince of wales check trousers return to fashion......
My car can be entered for the veteran & vintage run to Brighton.....
:doh:

The mother of a pupil of mine enjoyed her 40th birthday yesterday. It occurred to me after the lesson that the night I played my first paid gig, this lady was one week old! Ouch!!!

The fact I can't lay on my right side for any length of time or my shoulder hurts and continues to hurt for days.
the fact that my right knee makes crunching noises as I walk upstairs and I get grinding pains if I hurry up them.
The fact that my left hip is so stiff when I get up from sitting that I can't straighten my leg naturally as I walk.
It's age and wear and tear. I can feel the slow but unstoppable progression of osteo-arthritis every day. Not fun - but if I choose to let it ruin my life at this early stage I have only myself to blame. So I won't.

White eyebrows :scared:
Oh my parents were brilliant, my childhood was idyllic, very open family. I remember being sat down and told about the birds and the bees. :happy:
Followed by the period chat a couple of years later. confused

Followed by the "I know we told you about the birds and the bees, but don't you bluddy start that malarky young lady!" chat loon

Then that was it, I moved out, got married, done the birds n bees, had kids etc
But not once :?
Not one single time :dry:
Never ever ever evil

Did they mention white bluddy eyebrows :shock:
One I could pluck out, easy a rogue freak eyebrow
Now there's bluddy loads of em :shock:
It's not like I was sat down for the white eyebrow chat, so I could digest it, get used to it, and expect it to happen dunno

Nope - just a shoal of white eyebrows over my eyes one day there was :evil:
Not a happy bunny .......... the only person who embraces their white eyebrows is the very very old Father Christmas :undecided:

Just a line to say I'm living,
that I'm not among the dead,
though I'm getting more forgetful
and mixed up in the head.
I got used to my arthritis,
to my dentures I'm resigned,
I can manage my bifocals
but God I miss my mind,
For sometimes I can't remember,
when I stand at the foot of the stairs,
if I must go up for something,
or have just come down from there.
And before the fridge so often,
my poor mind is filled with doubt,
have I just put food away,
or have I come to take some out?
And there's the time when it is dark
with my nightcap on my head,
I don't know if I'm retiring,
or just getting out of bed.
So if it's my turn to write to you,
there's no need for getting sore,
I may think that I have written
and don't want to be a bore.
So, remember that I love you
and wish that you were near
but now it's nearly mail time
so I must say good-bye dear,
There I stand beside the mailbox
with a face so very red,
instead of mailing you my letter,
I opened it instead!

Watching 'Gene Hunt' and realizing, My god - That's me, 70's man, Agghhh!
Same again?
As I look in the mirror, I’m a road map of lines
My eyes are all bloodshot, It's a sign of the times
When did it happen, I really don't know
When more grey hairs than brown ones decided to grow
My head is still pounding, can't remember last night
And the 60 watt bulb seems ever so bright
I am aching all over with my chest feeling rough
But a fag and a coffee sorts me out soon enough
Day and night sessions take a toll in due course
Shapes a body well ravaged with much room for remorse
I should make some changes, give up smoking and beer
Start a healthy new lifestyle and get my self clear
I must fend off temptations that won’t let me be
Find a way that results in a much fitter me
I will get some fresh air, Rid my head of this fog
(Then I might just pop in for a hair of the dog)

Quote by Kaznkev
There is nothing wrong with being old, this is how i hope to be,i intend to wear hats,gloves and swear loudly
When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple
with a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
and satin candles, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired
and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
and run my stick along the public railings
and make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
and pick the flowers in other people's gardens
and learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
and eat three pounds of sausages at a go
or only bread and pickles for a week
and hoard pens and pencils and beer nuts and things in boxes.
...and fuck in the streets....

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
and pay our rent and not swear in the street
and set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
