So Friday morning I decided to take Charlotte over the gym for a swim. She loves swimming and I love sitting in the baby pool with the other mothers, only there were not any yesterday. There was some action in the big pool though. It was the over 60’s water aerobics. Some big choons from the 60’s playing and whole host of fluffy cloud heads could be seen bopping up and down from my view in the baby pool. Now I look forward to my old age. Wandering into town, starting around Slater St. Working my way around to the blob and those boozers by Clayton Square. You know the ones that are rockin at 12pm. I would most probably get the bus back more local then for a few before heading back home and Mrs Fay would have my tea on the table. Sounds like a plan to me. If all you women have to look forward to is “cloud head” water aerobics and some flower arranging then I think we men are onto a winner. Another advantage for men is that the main down side to getting old is that our hair falls out. Mine has been anyway so the quicker the better. The more bald you go the more time you spend on keeping it neat and short. Its like a perverse law that one. Back to women though. Two words “The change.” Open that window, close that window, open that window I am hot again etc etc etc. No wonder I will be bailing down to town for a pint to get out of the way. I wonder if the change sets off hormones that will turn many womens hair grey and then develop in to that fluffy grey hair which I term “cloud head” ? Time to get some money and do a university study on it. Who doesnt know a cloud head ?
Friday tea time and a trip to Damons after my sister had popped around and given me my cards etc. As soon as we get in Damons the kids and wife set of to the free chicken wings on offer. With the credit crunch and all that we might just walk in next time. Let them 3 stock up on a load of free chicken and then walk out. Enjoyed a nice birthday burger, chips and beans and washed it down with a nice pint of cider. I think Mrs Fay saved a few pennies as the kids eat free and she took my passport to get a free meal for me and also a free birthday cake (That will be in place of the cake she did not get me anyway !! ) So just ended up staying in last night and after Charlotte was in bed I had a few beers and played Beatles rock band again.
Mrs Fay had gone with Elizabeth to her cousins (Peter) 18th birthday party. This made me feel my 36 years of age because Peter wasnt even born when I was 18. Part two of feeling 36 was when I was pottering about on the internet as noticed on the Sheryl Crow web site that she had taken part in a “divas” concert with Miley Cyrus. Now I am a fan of Sheryl Crow and have seen her a couple of times live. My eldest daughter is a fan of Miley Cyrus. It would have been the equlivent for my mother seeing Billy Fury do a duet with Samantha Fox. How can I ever forget Ms Fox singing touch me back in the 80’s. Getting flashbacks of Sabrina and her video for “boys” as well now. You cant believe how much fun I had googling for a picture of Samantha Fox’s “touch me” cover ;0)
Thanks for all birthday well wishes, cards and prezzies. Next birthday I hope my age will overtake my waist size !!!
Peace
