Dry spell

This is a week for feeling my age. The footie made me aware that although I vividly remember the excitement of England’s victory in 1966, when I was a young teenager, many colleagues were not even born then. This hot summer is a reminder of the last prolonged heatwave in 1976, and here’s a book I’ve just bought that vividly recalls the water shortage in many parts of the country that summer over 40 years ago. Ah well, age is just a number and you can only feel old If you let yourself feel that way, so I won’t!
