Went to Waitrose 7am opening an assistant vetting the entrance looked at me and said over 70s only please. Trotted pass thinking she didn’t think I looked to be in my 70s Then I realised not one speck of my face was on show she was just double checking LOL. Take care all xxx

How lovely to thought younger than you are, even if it was a mistake.

I had an opposite moment a while back. Well before I got ill. I was on a bus that got held up in traffic. Using the reflection in the window I was matching faces with the back views in front of me. Then I saw a sad old woman but couldn't see her ahead of me. Looked again and yes, the sad old woman was me!

Lol..I went to my PIP assessment and the nurse asked if I had brought my daughter. Which really pleased the wife. Two days later I went to see the doctor! Again oh your daughter's brought you. No I said the wife. A week later the same thing happened with the dietician. My wife is highly pleased. However I look in the mirror and question myself.

When I was in my teens (many years ago!) Mum and Dad went out for a meal at a local pub. 'Oh,' said the waiter to my Dad, 'That's lovely to bring your Mum out for a meal.' Mum got VERY upset and they came straight home again whereupon she took to her bed with histrionics.' Somehow, it was all my father's fault, according to her. His main fault was that he neglected to correct the waiter!! Poor Dad was in the dog house for weeks. Mum was genuinely upset - but took it a little too far, to say the least! xx Moy
