Gardening,driving,relaxing -> Am I old now?


After a very pleasant weekend, the weather turned a little cooler today. That means I'm wearing a three quarter sleeve woollen top, rather than I cotton top today. The school holidays are starting to come to an end. My kids go back on Thursday. There was no sport this weekend, which makes for a very relaxing weekend.  I spent a lovely hour in the garden with M. yesterday.  His incentive was some monetary remuneration, but he was happy working beside me which was very nice.

I went for a drive with P on Saturday to locate a gym, I needed to transfer my membership. The location on the website was incorrect. What should have been a quick trip ended in a pleasant, funny afternoon drive. Just the two of us, listening to music, relaxed on an odd trip of exploration. Yes, we did eventually locate the gym.

I have a number of CD's to listen to as a result of a music exchange with some friends. The question is, how honest are we meant to be when it comes to commenting on friends music taste? I don't expect anyone to like all the same music I do. Music either resonates with you or it doesn't. It really isn't a question of good or bad music. Wellllllll, in some cases it is. I still can't forgive my parents for the repetitive torture inflicted on me by very poor quality country music. I will listen to, and do like some country music now. But I tend to listen to it with a natural instinct to run away screaming. Recently, my music has been insultingly described as easy listening. I was insulted anyway as I equate easy listening with old age...Is that what is happening to me? I do know my taste in music has matured over the last 10 years. This is currently one of my favourite songs. I don't think you would have gotten me to listen to it when I was in my 20's.

  1. Yes, you're old. But in a good way.

    Also, my CD is the best.

  2. Damn it! When did I cross that line? I guess it doesn't matter, on the inside, I still feel 20ish.

    I'm reserving my comment on your CD until I listen to it!
