 A tentative blog to test the temperature. |
|
Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end. So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.     |
| Ailments Today I thought of listing all my ailments. Partly because there are some that I don't think about and these tend to get left out when comparing troubles with other old people, but mostly because I think it would be quite an impressive list. First one down would be age itself, of course. Which would lead to several ailments common to most old fogies. These are the ones most often left off lists, thanks to their being so common and accepted as almost normal. Then there are the ones that my generation suffers in particular, due to our similar lifestyles and preferences, particularly in the food realm. These are usually included as the stars in any list, being a sort of badge of honour that identifies us as the bright-eyed children of the sixties and seventies (how fitting that those numbers should also describe our ages now). And finally, there are the special ones, those odd ailments that fate has inflicted on me alone. Or seemingly so. These are probably the scariest because you have to go to a doctor to find out what names they might have. That is necessary if you're to do any research on them. Even though they're mostly minor and unthreatening things. Anyway, I pondered on creating this list. And then decided not to. Why dwell on such morbid matters after all? |
