I've been sitting toooooo long and it's taken an age to get off the sofa......but the strange woman's here too, hobbling round like a geriatric, just like my mum used to after her hip operation, bum stuck out, leaning forward, flat footed and frumpish. I want her to go away. I loved my Mum so much but I'm not ready for all of this. Please Mum, allow me my memories and the things that made me smile but let me stay young, mobile, excited about the future ..... not frightened of getting old before my time. There, that's better, I've straightened up and I'm walking properly again - see, she's gone again ....... and I get a sneaky feeling that the reflection in the cooker hood isn't me at all ?? Here we go again.
