In the last couple of days I have had 2 letters inviting me to go and look round a new development of retirement villages!!!! Lunch is thrown in, and a guided tour of these homes that you can buy when you get past it!! Why me, all of a sudden ? 70 must be the magic number I suppose. Am I now to be deluged with offers of walking sticks, Zimmer frames, stair lifts and incontinence apparel? If this doesn't make you feel old, nothing will!!
So that's it....I have decided that I shall get no older, from now on....stay the same for ever! ( I can almost hear Fra and Angus gritting their teeth!!). As I am the one who washes the car and cuts back the Hydrangeas, I haven't much choice!!
Years ago, people stayed 39 for ever....I am not so vain as to think that I still look that age, but nor am I decrepit enough to need 'meals on wheels' or a chair to sit on when going into a shop.
So that's my gripe for today. One day, it comes to us all!!!
