Gravity

Age and gravity are never a good mix.

It was a birthday, and it had good bits and bad bits. A good bit was when the young girl serving coffee guessed my age and got it wrong by twenty years, in the right direction. She clearly hadn't a clue how old anybody over school leaving age was, because with a bit of prompting, I also managed to convince her that my best friend was my mother. Result.

A bad bit is that now my best friend isn't speaking to me.

I know you cynics won't believe me, but I bought myself the yellow balloon before I saw the billboard.
