    Had the offer for trimmed eyebrows. There’s a frequent need to trim the forest out of the ears also.

    Taking glasses off to read thing close up now. Bit more of a struggle with contacts though I asked for reading glasses for that, though don’t really use them.

    Wait until the term “incipient cataracts” gets mentioned.

    4th is the first to me. No “Episode IV” when I saw it at the cinema 😀 (though admitted I don’t really remember much of it as I was 4)

    That was my point 🙂 I was born ’77 and apparently ‘saw’ Episode iV when I was 6 months old. Some of our apprentices were born ’98/’99. Conversations about the upcoming film have interestingly different perspectives.

    18 & 20 year olds no longer look attractive, you think of them more as a headache then anything else.

    The 30/40 year woman old on TV, or street though, looks mighty fine to look at.

    The Dr is younger than you.

    A child you teach calls you ‘peak’. You assume it’s an adjective but not sure if you should be cross or complimented.
