No, I hate purple...is that a good sign?

[Zad]

Look on the bright side, you haven't started knitting teacosies yet



Must admit, they do a top job of keeping the tea warm though.

Yes, but only if you don't have a tea pot to put said cosy on.

How about a pic of this cosy?

My Nanna bought me belly-warmer knickers, does that mean I've been written off as over the hill?

[rayny]

You are still young until :-
Going into town on a Friday night means driving into town to get fish and chips and then driving straight home.

This is from the guy who left for work this morning and checked to see if his favourite cardigan and slippers were ready by his favourite chair for when he got home this evening.

its just when you said you were getting old i was reminded of this peom

Warning
by Jenny Joseph

WHEN I AM AN OLD WOMAN I SHALL WEAR PURPLE
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
