5 reasons I know I'm getting old

1. I like eating ginger
2. I have to know what the weather forecast is
3. I have no idea what young people these days are talking about
4. I talk about "young people these days"
5. All my TV and radio input comes via the ABC. I have managed to avoid Newsradio so far though, so maybe I'm not as far gone as I thought.

Rhyme time

At the moment Mr X is obsessed with rhymes. A recent conversation went something like this...

X: HEY MUM!!
Me: Yes X?
X: Curtain rhymes with burtain!
Me: Oh wow, you're right, who would have thought?
X: And airconditioner rhymes with bairconditioner!!

Hmmmm.

Dizzy

I did a somersault this morning for the first time in I don't know how many years. I think it will take me awhile to recover. Better call the Australian Gymnastics squad and let them know I won't be taking up that position after all.

Something useful...

Well I thought I'd break my blog drought with something really worth reading, maybe some pictures of the new baby, or thoughts about JoJo starting school or some other big event.

Not going to happen though sorry, because today I'm excited because I have finally realised one of my unfulfilled dreams. I finally remembered to search the net for useful things to do with dryer lint, and it turns out there are quite a few things you can do with the stuff... make play clay, make fire starters (bound to come in handy for all those fires I love to start), stuff draught stoppers, add to compost, line pot plant containers, the list is endless. Actually I'm pretty sure that is the end of the list.

Who knows? Maybe I'll do some of them. I lead an exciting life and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
