Feeling old!

 I think I have discovered why older people bang on so much about the past. The problem is the older you get the more of the past there is! Huge amounts of past, with different experiences.

On top of this - for work I have to constantly re-train, the job I do moves rapidly as it is technology based. It's actually why I love my job. You can do the same job in the same place for years and years, but the job is completely different every single year because the technology and the approaches you use are completely different.

However, it does mean that in my home life I literally can't be bothered to learn anything new. I refuse to download the App so I can pay for parking locally and get very annoyed and stressed if I can't pay by card. If I'm honest I'd still rather feed the meter with a coin!

When I was in my late teens / early 20's I was lucky enough to be with a group of people that were loosely linked with the music industry. Particularly music from the 60's/70's. Now for me (let's be straight about this) these were old timers. But it did mean I got to meet some cool people such as Bob Dylan. I've always been a huge fan of his music. (Not that he would remember the meeting as I was insignificant!). 

Last week we went to son's school to discuss GCSE options.

Teacher actually said: GCSE History is going to be challenging and interesting, we're focussing on USA conflict in 20th century. We don't just go into the conflict we look at the historic events that surrounded it. So we'll be learning about musicians such as Bob Dylan.  

 ME:  Agghhh!

 So now I am officially so old my experiences are taught in history at school!

Anyway, apart from being horrified by how old I am not a lot has happened. Well a lot of work has happened, many many hours of work. I'm shattered.

This morning I shut my eyes for '5 minutes' and woke up an hour later.

Mothers Day went by in a blur. The family came on the dog walk with me and that was kinda it. To be fair on them I actually worked for most of the day. I know they'd have done more with me if I'd been around.

I did get a lovely bunch of daffodils though - I love a daffodil.

And that is really the summary of my life right now. I think I need a break!
