Why do I post so early in the morning? I think I'm s'posed to wait for *stuff* to actually happen before updating a diary.

I'm getting old. No /really/ old.

For several reasons.

1. I'm starting to think things like 'Glad I'm not a youngster anymore'

2. I keep wanting to give teenagers of my acquaintance advice like 'You think you've got a lot of time to bum around now, my son, wait until you get to my age and then you'll see about time.'

3. I *choose* to eat fruit.

4. I feel I should be 'getting on' in the company I work in.

5. I watched 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks' last night on TV, and saw Sebastian Bach, of Skid Row and damp knickers of lots of my schoolgirl friends fame, make a complete arse of himself. Presumably he was always an arse, but why did I have to notice?

6. I'm getting married. No I *really* am getting married. Next year, by all accounts.

7. Once I get married I'll have step-kids, I kind of have them now, but we can pretend it ain't serious.

8. And a step-grand-daughter, or talking and smiling jelly-bean as she should be known.

9. I don't know what the number 1 selling single is (actually part of me suspects that is A Good Thing (tm)).

10. I've heard of (and sometimes like) the old famous people that die these days.

I think that if you tried to guess my age based on the above information you'd come up with completely the wrong number. In fact I may start an impromptu competition.
