Gypsy in my Soul?

I have decided, that I am definitely getting old.

I seem to spend my breaks between playing, talking to my mate of the same age, about our illness and ailments?

We discuss what has fallen off in the last week and how we feel after we have had a dump!!! plus other highly interesting symptoms!!!

I liken it to collecting cigarette cards when we were kids? 'Ooooh have you got that one' But in this case it is 'Oooooh have you felt like this'?

Seems though, that some of the things I have as a half centurion are shared by others of the same age, so I suppose it is reassuring in some ways?

Enjoyed the blow last night and the old lip was actually working. I also murdered a rendition of Minnie the Moocher with a few lyric changes thrown in.

Bit disappointed in the Ellington version of 'Caravan' though. The last time we played it was 6 years ago and the same mistakes were made again last night. It limped through to the end and was more like a ten ton trailer than a mobile home?

I am off to the doc's today to arrange a fasting blood test. My mate has also given me a list of his symptoms, that I can put to her!!!
