All my friends are dying I’m getting old

Just got the news that another friend has breast cancer lost multiple friends to aids and cancer (fucking horrific in some cases).
I keep thinking whether I’m next and it is horrifying. I’m 58. Husband is 66. We are finally in a financially stable position and now I’m scared we’re all going to die. I’ve not even drawn my pension yet.

London mayor to override opposition to outdoor dining in Soho next summer | London

Or maybe you could just move out of the busiest area of London for bars and restaurants? Who TF moves to Soho then complains about the 'noise'‽

Clarice Cliff Bonjour Tea Set Argentina

I recently found this tea set (full with 4 cups/saucers, sugar bowl and milk jug) fore U$D 500 - I think this may a bargain (also I love it). All pricings are behind paywalls but I believe it’s quite rare. Any ideas? I would buy it because I love it but want to check if it’s a reasonable price? Lots stunning.

I’m proud of young me.

Back in the 70s my older sister had the soundtrack to ‘Hair - the musical’. I loved it. Age of Aquarius etc. but one song was called ‘Sodomy’ and was basically “Sodomy, fellatio, cunnilingus, pederasty’ etc. I stil know all the words at 58.
Anyhoo at school we had an exercise where we had to choose a word from each letter of the alphabet and make a sentence with it.
Guess what I chose.

I came home from school that day and my teacher was sat with my mum and I got grilled for hours.

I think I was seven. I got all the sentences correct though - that was one of my teacher’s arguments as to WHY?

Reddit is unusable now.

Between the bots and the adverts I don’t recognise it any more.
And I’ve been here for over a decade.
I’m constantly checking for ‘promoted’ but I’m also seeing the same posts over and over again across multiple days.
I guess it’s time to hang up my hat and have a life.

So now reddit is a search engine‽ seriously?

The search bar at the top now.
Someone searching for the Boston bomber is going to be very confused.
Amongst other things.

Me in 1991 (?) in a squat in Leeds with some amazing merch from Eclipse.

Not sure if I've posted this before but these were happy days (daze?). I think you can still see all the sweat as this was at the chill-out.
