Yesterday we took delivery of our new washing machine. Our old one had been increasingly unreliable until this week it stopped working altogether. It was eleven years old so we reckoned it was time to purchase a new one. In this modern age of instant shopping we were able to choose, buy online and receive a new one within a couple of days.
And today we purchased four new tires for the Landrover which pleases me because winter is coming the treads are getting worn down, and one of them has had a nick in the edge for ages; it has been checked and is safe, but I’ll be glad to see the back of it.
This all led me to reflect, does enjoying such mundane things mean that I am getting old? I was certainly delighted this morning to get a place at the much coveted Aqua Aerobics (frequented almost exclusively by older ladies) at the sports centre! And I get quite excited when James makes me a nice cup of camomile tea in the evening. Mind you I have always enjoyed these simple pleasures!
