Just turned 79 years old and typically for such an old git, have started looking back with a tinge of nostalgia at cars that are not just upside down planes.

I'm pleased to see you are enjoying them Anthony but I can rake up zero enthusiasm for cars that no longer look like such a thing.

Getting old is not just about the body slowly (or not) deteriorating but the brain, whatever there is left of it, starts looking backwards rather than forwards.

Must finish that Model T kit I have somewhere.

Of course, this old gittishness may have something to do with the fact that Ronnie has me out in the garden where I am building patios and laying bricks for paths. That's supposed to be a young man's game too.

So much for our agreement that I do the inside and she does the outside.
