" Oh yes I'm 89 years old and I still drive"
" You're 89!" I said in shock.
The 89 year lady nodded back. She was pleased that she had shocked me.
Jeepers she was was very spritely for an 89 year old. We had struck up conversation at the bus stop on saturday morning. I had run full pelt to make it to the bus stop. Convinced the bus would be there, waiting to leave as I turned the corner, but it wasnt thankgod. There was just a nice old lady waiting there.
"Phew I havent missed it!" i signed.
" No dear, i always think ive missed the bus too and have to run for it also"
Yes our dear old 89 year old had used the word "run"
We boarded the bus and through the entire journey to town I could only think:
Would I be able to run when I got to 89?
Would i ever make it to 89? Hmmm.
This weekend I bought a book on Power Drinks - Natutal Energy in a glass! ( so it says) I think the secret will lie somewhere here.
