Assistance - am I really that old?

 Can't believe its already 4 February.  Today has been put aside to get my holiday in Spain sorted out.  I'm going with a friend and at her suggestion I've booked assistance at the airport for us both.   That started me wondering if I'm getting old.  Most of the time I'm too busy to worry about things like that.  To much to do and enjoy to think about if I should be taking it easy.  The signs are there booking assistance, sometimes taking a nap in the afternoon and having regular trips to the chemist to collect my medications.  But as I said I'm too busy to think about it especially at the moment.  We are booked to go away 21 February and I am hoping to exchange contracts and set a moving date before I go.  With dates being a bit tight I have to get all my holiday clothes sorted out.  I don't want to be opening boxes trying to find my shorts, t-shirts and sun cream.  Despite what I have said never think of yourself as old just take advantage of all the help that's out there so you can just cram more into life.

To give or not to give

When I was young I remember two of my mothers sayings.  Waste not want not and it might do them a turn .  In this throw away society it seems for a lot of people these sayings have been forgotten, which is a shame given the state of the planet.  Or is that too big a thought.  Then try this - on a website which allows people to give things away free there are postings like, I have just got my first place and I need so many things, I have baby clothes to give away, before I take this to the tip would anybody like it.  Before and since I've moved I have been giving things away like gardening tools now I don't have a garden, furniture I don't have room for in my smaller flat and the boxes and packing stuff from my move.  I am due to give that away to a couple who know they will be moving in the summer.  I'm not saying I'm a wonderful, caring person, after all I would've probably have had to pay somebody to take all my stuff to the tip if I hadn't given it...

To blog or not to blog that is the question

 I have been settling into my new home which is one of the reasons I have made no posting of late.  However that was just an excuse I made to myself.  The real reason is that nobody is reading this blog and although I started with great enthusiasm it is defiantly wearing thin.  I feel I must soon make a decision I must either give up or find a way to put this blog out into the blogosphere.  If only I knew how.  Trouble is when you start a blog at my age you are not surrounded by other bloggers or people that know about such things.  Maybe I have to read the blogs of other older people and find out from them what to do.  Seems like a plan just have to do it.

Life is for living

 Can't believe its ten days since I last posted.  Things have been happening and my brain is having trouble keeping up.  First in two days I go on holiday with my friend to Spain.  Now have everything laid out on the spare bed ready to be packed.  Least ways I think I have everything.  The other day I realised I had forgotten to get any euros then yesterday when I was charging my phone I remembered I needed an adapter which of course I had already pack in a removal box.  A scramble in all the boxes then ensued. I can't wait to get to Spain when I can do nothing but rest my brain and enjoy myself.   My house move is now teetering.  My sellers can't move out till at least 7 March and the first couple in the chain have to complete by 20 March.  So I will return to finish packing up my belongings and starting over in a new flat.  Is this really what an eighty year old should be doing?  Of course it is.  I have no desire t...
