You know your getting old when this happens.

Who is that in the mirror. Our ears are getting longer.
When I look in the bathroom mirror I see my mother's eyes looking back at me. I smile at her and she smiles back at me. This makes ageing perfectly acceptable and I feel a surge of happiness.

When I look at my naked body in the full length mirror I see a Mesopotamian fertility goddess and I wonder why people stopped worshipping bodies like mine. I am magnificent. Who needs the elixir of youth when old age is an achievement and not a disease.

Before the Covid lockdown, the dance centre that my wife and I went to, had a very popular midweek event they called: "Grab-a-Granny," night.
