So here I am.  48 years old.  Middle aged!

How can this be?

I still feel 20, well my brain does.  My body argues against this constantly by creaking, cracking and aching. 

The go faster grey stripe along my hair parting is getting bigger each time I visit the hairdressers. I wonder how long it will be until a shampoo and set becomes desirable?

Is there a set age when that happens?  I mean I still love to wear jeans and sweatshirts, a nice dress to go out in and I do like to follow fashion. But is there going to be a day around the corner waiting to sneak up on my and say "come on now it's time to wear floral shirts and A line skirts with a cardi to keep you warm!"?

I already decide a lot of my shopping on whether an item is "comfy" rather than impractical. Or if the phrase mutton and lamb can be used on an outfit - oh god I think that this must be the start.

Comfy and warm my two favourite describing words!  Help meeeeeeeee!!!!!!
