When you pass the 80-year old mark, life becomes quite narrow. In our previous life we worked hard and kept up an active social life but, nowadays, when we are retired and getting on in years, our program is much narrower. Looking at our diary for this week, for example, we only have two items listed: activity classes on Tuesday and Friday at Toosey. In the past, Marilyn might have gone to her Craft Group on Tuesday but the Activity Class has superseded that. Later this month we'll have our Probus meetings and, no doubt, there will be a hair appointment and something medical, but they're not yet on the horizon.
On my desk is a reminder from Specsavers that I'm due a check-up on my eyes and I have a half memory of receiving something similar about my hearing but I'm not treating those as urgent. I'm happy with my current spectacles and haven't worn my hearing aids in months so I can leave those appointments on the back-burner for the time being.
In the meantime, I'll fill my days in the usual way: reading, fiddling with my tablet, checking Youtube and drinking coffee. It's not a bad life.
