Birthday

Well it has been one of those days!  A special day where I changed decades.  Pottered about; found myself being asked if I was a concession card holder.................not impressed!  Just because I'm having a birthday does that make me pension age?
  • Thanks - I probably sounded needy however I think when you go through this roller coaster you tend to treasure each birthday or cuppa with a friend or whatever!  It's all about the heightened awareness we have and until we get through and are convinced there will be no recurrence the tendency is to treasure each milestone and not put up with crap! 

  • Oh No!!! The biggest of Happy Birthdays to you!! I hope you had a most wonderful day with the people that are dear to you. xo Melinda
  • It's grim, isn't it?  I got sent a copy of the What's On from Seniors Week - apart from the free travel for a week ( and I am way past the threshold!) there wasn't a single thing I was remotely interested in. Assumes you are retired, deeply conservative, and with a low boredom threshold!!

    I am trying to work out a snappy response that isn't too rude. Yes, I am over 70 but not out to pasture yet. Yes, I do have a concession card, is the concession worth having?

    Oh well, have a happy changing decade day in spite of the irritations!!
