Old Person Coded.

About 15 minutes ago, I found myself genuinely excited about the prospect of spending half an hour with a pot of Earl Grey, some custard creams, and the radio (Nightwatch on BBC Sounds, if you're asking). An evening which would not be out of place in a nursing home.

What is your most 'old-person-coded' behaviour, or attitude?

I wouldn't be so sure this is old-person-coded. A friend of mine who works in geriatrics says nursimg homes have stratospheric levels of STDs...

I have a heated blanket.

I have recently developed a worryingly deep interest in the grass on my lawn. And even more sadly, this isn't a euphemism.

I can just see you in a quarter-zip, green wellies, and a Hermès headscarf, Meli. A windswept, bucolic vision.

For me it's that increasing-common event that I listen to a trailer for Moneybox on Radio for and think "That sounds interesting. I should give that a listen." Luke

This is terrifyingly, impressively organised. I should start doing this. For one thing, every time I buy a first class stamp I feel as if I'm living in Germany circa 1923.

As of yesterday (and today) the repeat, on loop, playback of "Coming Up" from Paul McCartney's "McCartney II" album.

It's such a catchy, absurd, goofy and vibrato-infused track. And I feel so avuncular listening to it!

You need a scrim for the streaks - make sure it's completely dry and give the streaks a quick polish out as soon as you've spotted them. But I agree, this gadget is one of the best investments I've ever made!
