Aging


My lovely walk with Bella on Thursday morning. Didn't really know where I was walking, but I didn't get lost and it was so pretty. Gorgeous sunny day too.

I've started to notice a few signs that I'm getting on in years. Don't get me wrong, getting old is a privilege and I'm not exactly complaining, but I thought I'd share my observations. 

Ellie and I went to Charity disco on Friday through my work. I wore by comfy flat velvet pumps and Ellie wore great high heels! 

I really enjoy Alan Titchmarsh on a Sunday morning, especially the Walk on the Wild Side (pictures of nature and animals that viewers have sent in). I love his mugs on the show AND I have those very mugs AND they are my favourite mugs! 

I will always pick comfy clothes - although sloppy outfits seems to be in vogue, so maybe I am just fashionable at last?

Long gone are the sexy underwear. Stockings and suspenders are a thing of the past, no thank you! Give me cotton knickers every time! 

Instead of turning the music up I'm turning it down. If I'm driving I turn it down when I need to concentrate, I think I can see better if I don't have it blaring! 

All the young doctors, dentists, vets, police officers just look like teenagers! Surely not old enough for that job!? I remember my grandma making similar comments when I was a kid. Now I'm doing it! Argh. 

I love staying home. I can't think of anything worse than going to a nightclub, heavens forbid! Soft slippers after a hot bath is where my heart lies. I still love dancing, but in the kitchen not a dance floor. Though you should have seen me giving is large at the disco on Friday! Dance like no one is watching is my message. And I'm far too old to give a monkeys about what others think! Shake that booty and wave those arms. Maybe I'm not as past it as I thought??

I'm down in Newcastle staying with mum. Working from home and having a bit of a trial run for when I move, which will be sooner than I thought - fingers crossed! So far so good. It's home, and it feels so good. Though Scotland is my second home and will be missed. 

Have a great Easter. Eat lots of chocolate eggs and hot cross buns! It's the start of three warmer and longer days. Enjoy xx

Age is something that doesn't matter unless you are cheese.
