I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon.
I don't care for dark British/Dutch humor. Dislike Monty Python as well. Give me a bittersweet French or Japanese movie or a sad Portuguese song. I'm more introspective.
You were very fortunate. I never really fell into anyone's arms.
I need to reassess my needs. My 'romantic' efforts in Thailand had limited success.
A washing machine is an accurate descriptive for how your body is pummeled with each wave as you're drawn down and then pushed up again. I've been a dozen times and if my shoulder wasn't like it is I would gladly go again. I'm like you very familiar with canoes and kayaks although my preference is a kayak on lakes. I used to take mine out with a small cooler bag with lunch inside and water. My other bag was a dry bag, it held my camera in addition to whatever book I was reading. If my brain was functioning I had sunscreen, depended on my coffee intake for sure. We must have been fish at one point in our life.
I agree with you about the aurora borealis, I don't dare blink. They're just so glorious in color and the way the air feels as you stand there awe struck. I'm equally glad these calories don't count, I feel like I've eaten enough for two people maybe three.
I've wondered the same thing when I read about all the discoveries documented and brought back by ship. Paper that didn't crumble or mold from all the temperature variances.
I'm not as comfortable storing things in the cloud myself, I have external hard drives that I transfer data too and then disconnect from my computer so it is hack proof. Not that I really have data anyone would want but it is personal to me.
But then I think about the close living quarters on a ship how did anyone have room for storage to bring back? Darwin was indeed lucky on the HMS Beagle.
BCOF Blog Prompt November 25th: What's your favourite Christmas carol? Do you sing with your family? Well, what a coincidence of a blog prompt. I am visiting with my youngest two grandgiggles and yes, we've been singing. I admit a few Christmas carols have been warbled. As it snowed we had to belt out our version of 'Let It Snow'. Of course we repeated those memorable lines as we shivered 'cause we're full of bluster. " The cold never bothered me anyway." Thanks Frozen . While we rolled and molded snow, Alexandra, the four-year old, and I trilled 'Frosty the Snowman'. Christina, the nine- month old, loves dancing to 'Rockin'Around the Christmas Tree'. It is catchy.It could be she's reacting to the cute penguins ringing jingle bells as the music plays. I've yet to be bombarded by relentless radio repetition. I live in anticipation.
November 24th BCOF PROMPT: Black Friday... It's simple, I'm not a fan or a participant. Black Friday is just another day. I do not anticipate it. Do the savings exist? Are they worth a once a year buying spree? Do I need or will I use more electronics? I don't want even more clothing. The furniture is still serviceable. The truck is rolling along on its new tires which were purchased two months ago when we acquired it. I needed my new winter coat thirty days ago. I suppose I could time my purchases better?That dark name is not a shopping enhancement.Why can't retailers offer deals year round?
