Advantages of greying hair and an air of respectability

Go on then appall us. I’m sitting down and have the pearls to hand.

We like being appalled. Some of us

Oh, do tell Bags I'm dying of curiosity!

Wonders what Baggs did…..

You, and most of granset, would be appalled.

Perhaps I don't generally look as if I need blessing. Must be more serenity about me than I thought ?

But... sob!... no-one except my Mormon friends ever have. ? ?

Whatever it was, well done Baggs ....there has to be an upside to being 70+
I get ‘blessed’ rather a lot, to my annoyance.?

Happy to be blessed as often as anyone wants to do the blessing. It doesn't mean much to me and it does me no harm. Might even help with the serenity ?

Polly she split an infinitive ?

Yes, Lemon, "Bless you" features a lot when folk talk to me as well.

In Winter, just wear a tea cosy hat, that should work too.

I absolutely love being mid-70s - I can (and do) play the "I'm just a little old lady" card which usually gets me a seat on the Tube or help with shopping etc. But I can also spike up the silver hair, put on something brightly coloured or unexpected and have delightful encounters with charming young people who seem to appreciate a smile from an oldie rather than a scowl. So yes, definitely a fun side to being old.

Not so far Baggs.
