Time

I DON’T KNOW about you, but it seems to me that time is speeding up. Being of advanced years, but still having a busy life, I find myself running out of time on an increasingly regular basis.

If like me, you have certain ‘markers’ in your week, have you noticed them coming around faster?

Only the other day, I said to my significant other, “Is there still just one Friday in each week?” as we sat down to watch ‘Gogglebox’.

After much deliberation, I now have a theory as to why time appears to speed up when you get older.

More categories have been decided for our annual show in August and our full show schedule will be out soon. Copies will be found in the library and Park House. For those of you who enjoy entering our baking classes, we’ve got some old favourites this year. Aware of the rising cost of baking ingredients, we’ve gone back to basics and would love to see your best Scones, Lemon Victoria Sponge, Jam tarts and Bread rolls. For our younger entrants, how about Raspberry Buns and Chocolate Sandwich Biscuits and they can get creative making ‘a magazine collage’ or anything from an egg box.

To a child of say three years of age, a year represents one-third of their total life experience.

To a senior citizen like myself, however, a year represents one-seventieth of my total life experience.

Could that be why the same period of time seems to flash past a lot more quickly as you grow older?

I think this could be the answer, as you don’t often hear youngsters complaining that time is flying by. But, there is one area where this theory seems to fall down. Whenever there are road works in Glenfield which necessitate the use of temporary traffic lights, the time taken for the cones to be removed seems to drag on and on and on ... long after any sign of activity by the hole diggers. Why is that?
