Old Age is a Bitch: September 2008
http://oldageisabitch.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Old Age is a Bitch. Tuesday, 30 September 2008. Yesterday afternoon was bridge once again. We found that last Tuesday's results were on the board. We came second bottom (still at least some played worse than us! I really enjoyed the afternoon. I keep making the odd mistake in filling in my scorecard, so I have to score it out and the card looks messy. However, I saw one of the players using a pen with a built in eraser. So, what did I do? Tracked them down on the internet and ordered them. I find it diff...

Old Age is a Bitch: August 2008
http://oldageisabitch.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Old Age is a Bitch. Sunday, 31 August 2008. Weather and Clothing and more. During the spring/summer ( hah. Autumn I tend to wear one of a choice of fleeces; I have a black one, a bright green one and a pale cream (almost white) one. Which one I wear tends to depend on the weather. I looked out this morning and the sky looked a bit grey but it was dry, so off I went in my cream one (and before dickiebo. Gets the wrong idea, it was worn on top of my clothes). By the time I parked the car, the rain started.

Old Age is a Bitch: November 2008
http://oldageisabitch.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Old Age is a Bitch. Sunday, 30 November 2008. Yesterday, after a good night’s sleep, I set off to visit daughter, M and 2 grandsons who live about 45 minutes drive away from me. I had a bit of difficulty finding their new house and when I found myself outside Tesco. And I could not remember, but I said I would phone them for advice. When I did so, I had made only one mistake, going straight across a roundabout instead of turning right there. Prat and a bottle of Fleurie. Oh boy it was so good. Daughter s...

Old Age is a Bitch. Monday, 13 May 2013. It's 4 years today since we lost Elaine. How time flies. Thanks to those old friends who still occasionally look at this blog. To "A" - I'm so sorry to hear of your recent loss. I've lost all email addresses, so can't contact you myself. Best wishes.

Old Age is a Bitch: January 2009
http://oldageisabitch.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Old Age is a Bitch. Saturday, 31 January 2009. Well, today as is usual I collected up a (relatively small, but it clears the way for the bedlinen after Wednesday) and it is now washed, dried and put away. As a reward I bumped into one of my neighbours and she said that she was going down to the bakers. I said I would like four rolls (delicious and keep well), so that will keep me going until Tesco's delivery on Wednesday. Friday, 30 January 2009. Friday's (not) hospital visit. Having fixed up about the l...

Old Age is a Bitch: October 2008
http://oldageisabitch.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Old Age is a Bitch. Thursday, 30 October 2008. And so it goes on and on. When I reached elder son's house on Sunday he noticed that the housing of the wing mirror was cracked. He held it together as well as possible, and the mirror certainly still worked. I telephoned the Insurance company used by Motability. And have been given an address for a repair place. I was told I had a £75 excess to pay. Anyway, the repair company phoned yesterday evening and asked me to take the car in for an estimate on Monday.

Old Age is a Bitch. Wednesday, 31 December 2008. I think I am becoming "stir crazy". I decided not to go out until I was feeling back to normal, and so I am currently on house arrest. I am wearing the wonderful jacket that TBSITW knitted for me; it is so lovely and comfortable and cosy. Of course, when you have all the time in the world to do things, you do nothing. The second book on the go is Barack Obama's The Audacity of Hope. Tuesday, 30 December 2008. I have really enjoyed the Rebus books, to the e...
