Taking my (americanism here..) 'supersenior' parents shopping today........if you see a woman trying to calmy steer two elderly people up and down the aisles of Tesco, stopping every 3 steps to look at something/complain about the price/question what it is.....please skirt past our trolley and bear with us. I often think that if I get to their age, will my kids do the same for me or will I remember what that would be like for them and try to shop online, which is something I don't do now......maybe I won't even remember the whole experience by then, as, if God spares me, I think I already have the onset of Alzheimers...although my friend assures me that my forgetting words all the time does'nt count, it's just an age thing...hope she's right....

We shop online. And still dither about and complain the prices. The obly positive is that nobody else can see us doing it.

Hope the shopping trip is a success - it's not easy to keep your patience, but it will be us one day - scarily! When I had my 50th birthday I took stock of my life so far, and getting older was suddenly a reality rather than an 'it'll never happen to me - I'm going to be young forever'.. However I've forgotten all that depressing garbage now and take each day as it comes, slap on the wrinkle cream and smile!

I have all that to look forward to. But my husband would argue he has to cope with me every week doing this sort of thing anyway.

So..........

I am only posting this because I promised myself I would if I ever got to 10 years of blogging. A birthday post. So.......... My beloved ...
