CREEP
No, I don't mean this guy although he is a bit disturbing.
What I'm referring to is the fact that old age doesn't just happen, it creeps up on you so gradually that you normally don't notice it.
Sure we all get aches and pains. Some of us lose hair in wanted places. Others gain it in unwanted places. Some get better looking. Some get uglier - fatter - skinnier - shorter etc.
Generally though we don't really feel any different to the way we were when young.
But ...
I'm beginning to notice a shift in the power base.
Remember that old saying that as you get older policemen look younger?
Recently I've noticed in the news that important and powerful decision makers are starting to look ridiculously young.
In bars and restaurants young couples who to me look like students are talking about houses, mortgages, children and future proofing.
Oh, well, might as well enjoy being old.
