Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years. Lady Dumbleton is an instance in point. To my own knowledge she has been thirty-five ever since she arrived at the age of forty, which was many years ago now.

There were some top footballers here in the UK recently that were accused of putting phones down their pants and ringing eachother. Ah, youth...

With age, I find I acquire a funny kind of perspective.

I'll be 53 this August, but these days I mostly think of myself as alternately in my "mid-fifties" or "over fifty". And I do not feel any sort of shame in it either. I'm either leaning on the imagined indulgence that old age will eventually bring - or I'm just tired of counting.

Getting older is the same as being an ugly child, you get used to it. Sure you can change your looks but eventually you'll have to admit it to yourself that that ugly little child grew up to be me and damnit, I am proud!

errmm sorry for that.

Getting older is all in the mind, I will be 47 in a little while and I don't feel much older than maybe 25, I sure as hell haven't acted my age in 30 years!

Nah it's all posing - canes are mostly made of far to soft wood for so much stress being applied horizontally I wish myself I could have a cane which could serve as a short staff if needed.
