IGGLE PIGGLE, RATATOUILLE AND RATATOUILLE TOO!

According to Wikipedia, all the symptoms(apart from the lumps of course) I have had in the last few years point to me being merely sleep deprived and YES I can agree with that. After 7 years of not having a good nights sleep, I feel like my brain is fraying at the edges. The Wikipedia article on Sleep Deprivation talks about lack of sleep being used as a technique of torture, though I personally cannot see it's usefulness as I would SAY ANYTHING to be allowed to have a good night's sleep sometimes.
However, perhaps all the signs and symptoms I exhibit are merely the signs and symptoms of getting old! Oh Well, I shall just have to get used to wearing more purple and get used to watching Last of the Summer wine!

When I Am Old.

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me, And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired, And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells, And run my stick along the public railings, And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick the flowers in other people's gardens, And learn to spit. You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat, And eat three pounds of sausages at a go, Or only bread and pickle for a week, And hoard pens and pencils and beer mats and things in boxes. But now we must have clothes that keep us dry, And pay our rent and not swear in the street, And set a good example for the children. We will have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practise a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised, When suddenly I am old and start to wear purple! Jenny Joseph
