NOTHING WRONG WITH OLD

An old double bass player I know (the person not the instrument as the instrument may only be about 40 years young) in a recent blog-post lamented the fact that he's aging. He's now bent of of shape but who knows, it could be an improvement.

Today we went for a long walk around old Aberdeen. By old I mean really old. There are buildings, bridges and landmarks going back to the 1300's. Wonderful.
We started at the end of the street where the Old Girl's mother lives and where old Aberdeen begins with Kings College, the Aberdeen university. The antiquarian buildings are still in good condition (not yet bent over) and are still in use.
The cobbled streets built for carriages and foot traffic serve pedestrians, cars and buses and still look in good nick.
We went through the university grounds which included  a cathedral, a cemetery, an old brewery, taverns, gardens and houses and made our way to the river Don which had stone bridges spanning it that Robert the Bruce would once have walked on. Living history. I like it.
