Too many white wines .... or is it a senior's moment? Confessions of a 57 year old.

You know you're getting older when ....
  • Ever looked around for your reading glasses when you are wearing them?
  • Thinking the two birds from "Rosemary and Thyme" look rather attractive.
  • When channel surfing, stopping at the home shopping channels.
  • Indulging in the 3:00 p.m. nanny nap.
  • Reading half a chapter before realising you've read this novel a few years ago.
  • Entering a room, then wondering what you went in there for.
  • Watching a repeat of "New Tricks".
  • Getting out of bed with aching feet.
  • Letting out the involuntary "Errr!" helps you with bending, putting on socks/underwear.
  • You emit bum burps when doing your daily floor exercises.
  • Watching "Midsomer Murders" on ABC in the afternoon.
  • Victor Meldrew in "One Foot in the Grave" is your role model.

"The Mimic" TV series, Episode 3 review

I wasn't enthused about this week's episode. Starting with the cringy scene in the computer store, this episode was more pathetic than pathos. The blind woman scene in the zoo was mildly sweet. There was a quick David Mitchell bit that made me smile. The best scene was the visit to Martin's family. Nice to see Denise's uncle from "The Paradise" as Martin's dad and Mrs Warboys ("One Foot in the Grave") as Martin's caring old gran.
Hope next week's episode has more chuckles.
