Hey look at the little fella
Most babies we know....
...look like Winston Churchill but Noah has now moved on to the William Hague stage.
What's all that about ?
And as for peeps like William Hague who look older when they are younger, well then they never seem to age after that.
I have a friend who looked nineteen at nineteen and then all of a sudden fifty when he was twenty but now he looks amazing.
Then there are those people who age gradually and all of a sudden the handbrake goes on and time stands still - Angela Rippon has looked like she does for the last half a century, Michael Palin - always looked exactly the same and I swear Hugh Scully is going backwards. Good for him.
Other observations are welcome.

It is funny how people look the same now as they did 25+ years ago. Dawn French, springs to mind as one who is ageless.

Age. Hmmm.

So if they accept that I'm that age with no qualms I feel insulted! Bizarre. Definitely have some real "fine lines", though they will have gone in 3 weeks according to my current super-serum. So I will look 33 by July, or that's the plan.
Older bloke for me - Larry Lamb. Fancied him rotten in "Triangle" - still do in Gavin and Stacey! Don't watch Eastenders, I believe he's a murderer or somesuch - NO! - not my Larry.
Oh. and I've just remembered, I was wearing a summer top on Monday and a Y5 boy told me I have "good muscles for my age". Not at all sure how to take that.

Well, having said that, a few days ago it was a close run thing.
I won't bore you with the gruesome details, suffice to say that the highs that I experienced over the bank holiday weekend - regular readers will know what I mean - swiftly turned into deep lows, and I had to think seriously about where I was going, and more importantly, why.
But, hey, as Diamond Dave sang at the top of today's show, 'life goes on, without me'.
Feeling a little better now, by the way.
I haven't caught up with the blog since Chris returned, but I intend to at some point over the next few days. I trust all is well in the camp and I haven't missed anything too exciting.
In the brighter parts of my world, we are really enjoying Springwatch. I guess it resonates with our semi-rural life here, but I personally find it great escapism TV. With all the nonsense and hassle that everyday life brings - particularly at the moment - it is nice to settle down for an hour of an evening and join in the 'traumas' of not seeing polecats, or the 'drama' surrounding the wren chicks and whether they will leave the nest in the next 24 hours.
Well, I think so.
Apologies if you have already done that one.
Oh, and our live music menu has expanded a touch.
In summary, this is 2009 in terms of live music;
The Killers (Berlin, done)
Chickenfoot (if you don't know what I mean, google it - or 'bing' it if you are brave - and it'll all make sense)
The Killers (Hyde Park this time)
Leonard Cohen (one for my mum - although I do have a soft spot for him)
Green Day (just got these, a bloomin' fortune, but my new favourite band - well, neck and neck with The Killers)
So there we are.
Ups and downs, but I continue to indulge my passion of seeing my heroes.
Happy days, my friends.
Peace etc
MfR

MC - Mr B home just about! Got him a hands free gizmo for phone since he decided to get a newer phone and not the brick he normally used. Tried to phone on way back from old gits - got through fine but end of call - nah - had to pull over and hit half a dozen things to cut off! Sigh!
Best he sticks to computers and not mobile phones.

Bondy...big bottoms as Annie would usually say..but maybe it IS the way forward? Have you got other things in the pipeline? I`m sure someone will snap u up in no time... oh,another thought..does that mean you may be coming back to the UK?sorry..so many questions and not the place but just wanted to add my hug and positive thoughts... and Daphne seems to be doing a good job of passing them on.. x
As for looking younger than your age..never for me! Although Crumpy was very kind on Sat when she guessed at 7yrs less than i am...personally i blame the champagne!
My mum always looked younger than her age until the last 2 yrs when she has got very wrinkled (she admits it herself so wont mind me saying!). She`s only a tiny wee thing so i keep telling her she needs to eat more to fill out and the wrinkles will disappear..well it works for me anyway!
Hope everyone else is doing ok this cloudy night..watched the back story App bit and am recording interviews for when GM graces me with his presence shortly..
Hugs to all..

Springwatchers - is it my imagination or is there a certain "frisson" twixt Kate and Chris? And I love that bloke with the long hair, he's so natural and funny.

Boleyn - send me an fb message on your cream stuff - need it badly since I was in sun on Saturday - where did these wrinkles appear from overnight!!!!!
Agree with Chris and Kate on springwatch. Did you see the other night when he called her "baby" - she was so shocked she went to another shot. I will say however - the last time someone called me "baby" .... (censored) !!!!!
Blueberries - yay - need to search out those net curtains before the birdies feed them to the zillion chicks in my garden! Loaded for the first time in how many years????

I would love to be running to keep fit instead of torturing myself on the excercise bike and hideous "floor"exercises, but my knees don't agree. keep going, but give yourself the odd day off to recover.
