Growing old disgracefully

By GOD

All Grown Up

Was it for this I uttered prayers,
And sobbed and cursed and kicked the stairs,
That now, domestic as a plate,
I should retire at half-past eight?

Edna St Vincent Millay

I've retired early to read. It's been a lovely day with the VIP who had a extra day with us because of the school holiday. We've been climbing trees and charging around in the undergrowth. Plus I've been explaining to him how movies are made. I don't know if animated movies need clapper loaders, but they sound too much fun to leave out.
