The first thing you notice upon arriving at our house is the silence that comes from living in a national park. I never knew I had creaky knees, people complain. Or, bugger me, I’ve actually got low-level tinnitus!
Next is too many books, but no television (I hate the noise TVs make, although I hear they’re popular). Finally, an absence of mirrors is commented on. Sure, I often leave the house with children’s paint on my face. In my mind, though, I am rocking it.
Until I catch a glimpse of my mug in a window or friend’s downstairs loo. Who’s that old bloke? Likewise, I’ve recently seen videos of my sublime one-handed backhand and golf swing. Never again.
