They obviously have little appreciation of the social whirl that constitutes the life of those of a more mature age than themselves. “You are never home”, is their complaint. “Whatever have you been up to?”. Shall we let them into our secret? Or shall we take refuge in telling 'porky pies' as I have been known to do? Dancing on tables, gambling at the Races, out with strange virile young men, working or visiting the local houses of ill repute, rave parties, complete with drugs and alcohol, mosh pit surfing at the local Heavy Metal Festival, all spring immediately to mind. The list is as exciting as your imagination and sense of propriety allow it to be. Alas, the truth is a little more mundane. Whilst it is true that just like the young ladies newly emerged from Finishing School, we must always consult our diaries before making any new appointments, this is due to the fact that we are almost finished in quite a different fashion. The fortunate amongst us, those whose little grey cells, the electronics of the car if I might draw an analogy, continue to operate almost as well as ever, still find our bodywork is in need of constant attention. Our dents and scratches, engine work and so on, result in ever more frequent visits to the mechanics.

Yes, sadly, our diary seems to be full of medical appointments. The doctor, the pharmacist, the dentist, the pathologist, and the podiatrist, all have to be fitted into our busy, busy lives. Granted, we ladies do have a little light relief with visits to the hairdressers. Many of our gentleman friends are denied even this crumb of social interaction, their Beatlemops of yesteryear having long ago been replaced by a shiny bald pate requiring nothing more exciting than a Panama hat or flat cap to protect them from the rays of the sun. There is nothing to laugh about our ever-increasing need for stronger and stronger glasses, and for some, even this will not restore vision, so we are unable to read or watch television. Constant remarks from the younger generation, in many cases from members of our very own family, along the lines of must you have the volume turned up so loud, are not well received. Has my son forgotten that in his youth he would play Hunters and Collectors and Midnight Oil so loud that his little car would shake? I must admit that I enjoyed it too. Maybe this is the cause of my becoming a little hard of hearing, though as yet I do not require any assistance in following a conversation if only the young would learn to speak clearly and slowly!

I have heard of a group of retired nurses who like nothing more than to get together to enjoy a musical evening, an organ recital. They have turned their various maladies into a fun game of the ABC of those diseases common amongst the elderly. A for Arthritis, or Arthur-itis as it is commonly called, B for Bronchitis, or Brown-cowtis, as I well remember my Grandmother calling it. C for Catarrh, cancer is banned as being no laughing matter, D for diarrhoea, etc. etc. Extra marks are given for original contributions to this litany of ailments. Much laughter is engendered by this game, especially if someone can suggest somewhat improbable cures for the disease submitted. For example, if anaemia is mentioned, this is an age group who only too well remember Dr William's Pink Pills for Pale People. An iron-rich cure that could alleviate every ailment under the sun, from anaemia to depression. Of course, some letters are more difficult than others. Z for instance, but Zenker's Diverticulum can come to the rescue. Look that one up for yourself, you cannot expect me to do all the work! The dark humour of the Medical Profession is so well expressed in these retired nurses. But to get back to my principal theme. What else keeps us so occupied and out of the house? Our hardworking feet deserve a little pampering. Long ago I gave up painting my toenails, but it is pleasant to have someone else keeping them short and tidy. And yes, I know that there are various gadgets on the market for the removal of hard dry skin, but all seem to require gymnastic bending. Far more appealing is the opportunity to put one's feet up for a while and allow someone else to undertake this job. The podiatrist and hairdresser must vie for pleasure, whilst the dentist and the skin cancer clinic battle it out for pain.

As we get older, so do our beloved pets. They, too, add to the number of outings we find so necessary. I was told about an elderly cat that began to suffer from Clinical Anxiety in his dotage. On being taken to the local Vet, the nervous pussy was prescribed Prozac. The cure seemed simple enough, but the administration, less so. The cat refused to cooperate, repeatedly spitting out the pills in a most ungrateful and badtempered manner. Finally, his owners gave up on the unequal struggle, and began to consider taking the tablets themselves to cure their anxiety about their anxious cat!

I am not going to suggest that we never indulge in more usual social outings; we still do visit friends for coffee, go to concerts, attend meetings, and attempt to improve our minds by partaking in classes run by U3A for example, but do not expect us to be sitting idle at home just awaiting your charitable visits when, in truth, we are busier than ever!
