A Sign of Ageing!

I feel like an old wreck at the moment.  I’m suffering from lower back pain and feel like I should be walking round sucking in breath with my hand on my back ensuring everyone around me takes notice.

I will hopefully get the results of the x-ray on Wednesday, which will probably be, stop moaning, you’re getting older!

I had this conversation with a similarly aged friend recently and it seems like when you reach a certain age, your health starts fading a little.

We’ve both had the same things ’starting to go’.  The trouble is when you have children, your problems are heightened somewhat as you still have to act as the swing, the climbing frame, the piggy for piggy back rides and the general pick me up routine.

A child is not interested in hearing your back is playing up - trust me, they just want to be bounced, jumped and lifted ever higher.

Perhaps this could be the makings of a good guide to getting older.  I could call it ‘Falling Apart’, the guide to losing your health.  Don’t think it will sell many copies, do you?

Diamonds in the Trees

It must be because the sun is shining today, as I’m feeling all poetic.  No I’m not a writer, but I’ve just looked up the garden and tiny raindrops are clinging to the branches, glistening like diamonds in the sun.

I would have taken a photograph, but I don’t think it would come out very well.  Funny that - you see an image, take a photograph and it never turns out how you imagined it would.

Todays good news is that my kitchen is smelling a lot nicer.  I spent virtually a day defrosting the pongy fridge freezer, washing absolutely everything that could be removed.

I even cleaned out the drip tray at the back, which was a problem as it’s difficult to get hold of.  Bit of a design fault there I think.  But I persevered.
