Help the Aged

Digital Sands may only be a few days old, but the withered greying person behind the keyboard is somewhat more ancient. To the day, March 15th 2006, I am exactly 37 and a half years old. Both my birth certificate and carbon-dating will verify this.

At five o'clock this morn, unable to sleep as a cat was sat on my head, I worked out that I am both three-quarters:
- the way through my 30's
- from my birth to 50 years of age

Even worse, I am 93.75% of the way towards being middle-aged. That's too dark.

Where the heck did the first 7.5 years of my 30's go? Travelling abroad (12 trips), travelling around Scotland for holidays (umpteen trips), being self-employed (very nearly five years now), wondering where the next curry is coming from (a lot), playing video games (for work)(well, that's my excuse)(several years in total), watching boats zig-zag into Berneray harbour (too much but it's entertaining), staring at the signal strength on my broadband aerial (rather a lot recently), sitting on beaches (far too much)(or not enough, depending on your point of view).

If I was single (am not), would this make me too old for the dating festival at the Dell Fank? How should I spend the remaining 2.5 years of my pre-middle age? Is this the kind of mid-life crisis angst Calumannabel are looking for?

You'd be at the young end of the age spectrum for the Dell Fank to be honest -a bit of a young whippersnapper - some of these cailleachs would eat you for breakfast. Bring your partner - we do trade ins -see previous postings. Trevor for Orkney is being traded in we believe unless he's sold on Ebay first.

Crikey! Hope that's not too old! It's my birthday next month and I'll not be all that far behind you! Since I turned 30 I've wriggled out of three relationships thus probably scuppering any chance of getting married, thrown away a successful career and all the benefits that went with it, halved my income by becoming self employed so I can't even blame someone else when things go wrong. I've moved from happening home counties back to godforsaken windswept island..... and now you're telling me the mid life crisis is still to come?????

Could be worse ... here in Hollywood they are planning a remake of Groundhog Day. It'll be set on Lewis. On a Sunday. Main character wakes up. Discovers everything is shut, ferry is tied up, can't do anything, can't go anywhere. Goes mad. Falls asleep. Wakes up to repeat day again. Endlessly. It'll be an 18 and categorised under "horror".

So sorry to hear your not single. After your cattle observations I though that you & Chrissie Mary might be the perfect couple. Do you have relations in Harris?

Annie B from Lone Sheiling


If you do have relations on Harris please don't have them on a Sunday! Ever since Stephen sent that filthy Joy of Hebridean Sax they're all up to no good you know!

Is the Joy of Hebridean Sax one of those cons where you think you've bought a raunchy sex book and it turns out you've bought some Courtney Pine sheet music for an exorbiatant sum? Is this the sort of consumer comment you're looking for?

If your birthday is 15 September you'll be a Virgo, and were probably born middle-aged and sensible. But by the time you are eighty you will still look distinguished and elegant. Is this cheering you up?
