Age

Another long day and a cold has made it a slightly foggy one. Spent the morning in school doing performance review of the head teacher. Am reminded of something Gervais Finn said on education that we spend too much time weighing the pig and not enough feeding it.
Afternoon saw me taking the funeral of a 97 year old man and left me reflecting on my life as less than half done! He was married to his second wife as long as I have been to Catherine although he didn’t meet her till he was in his seventies. Hard to imagine such a long innings.
Tonight the children made a birthday tea for Catherine who funnily enough is half the age of the man who died…
I probably shouldn’t reveal stuff like that!
