Signs Of Greater Age (60)

 1-watching far less television
than you have watched in the past
but enjoying watching detective series
for the location filming and the weather.
'Montalbano' for the Italian weather
and 'Shetland' for it's coastal scenes,
cosy small town life, and rolling heather. 

2-looking out for new films that star
the elderly actors who we liked in your youth.
Being reassured by how they age with us
where the script writers put humour and warmth
into the stages of life where people used to be ignored.

 3-reading books because they are the slowest
and most user-friendly way of being entertained,
and also because they are also a way of inducing
that afternoon nap that passes the day, the best way.

Sleep and dreams are what we live for, even electronically.
