Syd is a woman-hater - but I think he tolerated me because I'm a veggie. By the same token as he's a vegan I thought he couldn't be all bad...

Anyway - time to party!

Very much so Ali.  Hopefully I'll be even happier still after the end of this month.  (See the apprehension thread).

I'm gradually getting back to normal and being the me of old. It's taken a very long time and I often thought I'd never make it, but here I am gradually emerging back into the sunlight. 

           

Reminds me of another favourite poem of mine from Mr Hardy:


I look into my glass,
And view my wasted skin,
And say, 'Would God it came to pass
My heart had shrunk as thin!'

For then, I, undistresst
By hearts grown cold to me,
Could lonely wait my endless rest
With equanimity.

But Time, to make me grieve,
Part steals, lets part abide;
And shakes this fragile frame at eve
With throbbings of noontide.

Me too, Kitty, and not all that hidden. I've just checked the minutes of the first meeting of the R3OK Chalumeau and Drinking Club and that seemed to be the consensus. We all had a soft spot for KK (or was that Kyril Kondrashin?). 

it's the fact that she is *bound* to win the board end-of-year 'glamorous gran' award.

1975-1997. This is the oldest person who ever lived. She is French. She looks nice on the picture.

Old age has its challenges, to see yourself not as beautiful is hard. Old age has its good points. Young people have so many challenges.
They say that this lose of beauty is harder on beautiful people. Also it is difficult to see how reaction of  people on you changes. I remember my grandmother at this age and it is strange to me that I am now her age (what she was then). I still feel like a very young girl and I don't think I am too mature. Well, some people never mature I guess.


I like to walk on high hills. I am a little too tall, but still I wear hills.
When I play I wear smaller hills because it is hard to push pedal with high hills.
