truly middle aged

Today is my 38th birthday.  I have to face facts, I can no longer say I am 'mid thirties' (to be fair I have been stretching that one for a year or two).  On paper I guess I am quite old now.  But in my head I am still about 22. 

Was is Oscar Wilde who said 'Youth is wasted on the young'?  Too true.  I would love the opportunity to go out all night dancing on tables, but I guess it will have to wait now till the children leave home...having just done the maths that would put me in my 50s (!)

  1. Depends how long you intend to live. If you're going to be 94, like B's great aunt who died the other day, you're not middle aged until 47!
