A new stage
00:52 Wednesday 2 May 07
Something subtle changed somewhere this week.
J said that when she saw me asleep one morning she realised I’d turned into a man. Getting away from the obvious jokes, what have I been since I was a teenager? Is there a term for the stage I’ve been in? Maybe it’s a mental attitude from me, or her or even both of us. Maybe it’s the extra grey – she called me a Silver Surfer !! Maybe it’s the work I’ve done and what I do now that means I’ve not been forced into being ’serious’ from 9-5 Mon-Fri.
When does a girl become a woman? At the same time as a boy becomes man? When do I go buy slippers? When do I pass Marks & Spencers and think “My that jacket and corduroy trouser combo looks hot!”
Weird this getting older stuff.
Thing is, when will I feel old? Does that matter? Probably not.

I am just getting into cardigans, glasses, and comfy shoes. Should have done it years ago. :)
