Sad Old Sot Shunday


No mushrooms, but this nice image. Captured on my phone at Shearwater, Wiltshire (part of the Longleat estate) and wouldn't you know it - one of the old dears stood up just afterwards and took a picture of the swan on her iPhone!

  4. Horrors! I think I qualify as an old dear these days, especially in my partially sighted state. I don't have an iPhone, though. Yet.

  5. Was it her iPhone or had she and her cohort just mugged a gang of hoodies and stolen theirs?

  6. In truth, I think they might have been about 10 years older that me, and I was referring to myself when I said 'sad old sot', but I have noticed that older people are always referring to their peers as 'old'.

    I am most distressed to hear that you may be the same age as them, Jacqueline. You must have been grooming me with your avatar photo all these months. I've heard about people like you. My mother warned me about people like you (and John, to be fair).
