‘Seventy-five, and everyone says I’m wonderful!’

No, not me! (I’m just a bit over) but I recently remembered a neighbour of a granny saying this every time we saw her! This would have been in the 60s.

I don’t think 75 was a very great age even then - both GMs lived well into their 80s, and my lovely GGF well into his 90s.

But I can’t help thinking that hardly anyone would talk like this now about their age, or would they?

BTW I don’t think the neighbour had dementia, there was no talk of her ‘not being quite right in the head’.

I told my 7 year old GD that I will be 80 this year. That’s very old isn’t it’, I said. She replied, ‘Of course not, 100 is very old!’ Bless her. Hope for me yet then!
