    The most melancholic thing about ageing is, I think, seeing people much younger than you growing old too.

    I've just seen a video taken by someone I knew over fifteen years ago - a beautifully-talented musician who sings in English and French - and .. well, now she's fifteen years older. She felt like she was practically a kid when I knew her, and now she's approaching her forties and is ...well, not that far removed from this old git here with the earned creases and lines described by time.

    A stark reminder of my own ageing that I wasn't expecting when I randomly clicked on her facebook storything to see what she's up to.

    • Yeah, I hate this. I have younger siblings and the other day was like damn my little sister looks old.cannonball1978
