At what age does one become "old"?
I have noticed recently that actually I am starting to feel "old" (or at least my age) and that there are a few wrinkles appearing here and there.
I even invested in some anti-ageing face cream.
I guess it doesn't help that, working in a student's union, every year my staff seem to get younger whilst I just pass another birthday. I mean, this year's intake were, for the most part, born in the year I started university....
And then, it really hit me last night. J and I were watching tv and a programme came on which was basically cataloguing Elton Johns hits in (pretty much) chronological order. When "circle of life" came on with the byline "from the Lion King - 1994" I realised that that film was made over half my lifetime ago.
In fact it was made before my student staff were born...
So am I old now or just really, really tired?!
