I know I'm 'of a certain age' because...

I refuse to grow old gracefully

I have to rearrange my face in the morning so as not to scare the postman. Why do we end up looking so weird? Or is it just me?

I use my hands to manoeuvre and make sure I sit properly on the loo seat. Don't want to be half on and half off. That could be dangerous.

I say things I remember my mum saying and cringe.

I often repeat myself—more than twice.

I say I like new things but sometimes wonder...

I'm happy to say that I do NOT like cheese and doubt I ever will.

I love chocolate.

I probably forget more than I remember.

But I'm happy in my own skin. 

I don't care if what I wear is fashionable or not.

I wish I'd saved more stuff from years ago that's now back in fashion.

I still own a pair of original 1960's Mary Quant tights.

And a mini dress

Sadly I never looked as good as Twiggy

But I'm lucky. I followed a dream and got published, even if I was almost at bus pass age.

Now if only I could get an all out best seller... (we all need a positive dream)

Happy reading,

love, Raven xxx
