How Old?

Tomorrow I will be forty two. I'm not bothered about this particularly, but I had a rather salutary experience today. My car is in the garage for its MOT and service. This is bad enough because each of the previous two have cost over £600! Anyway, because of this I took the bus into town this morning. When I asked the driver how much he stared at me, clearly astonished, and said "Don't you have a pass?" There is only one conclusion to be reached here - HE THOUGHT THAT I WAS SIXTY! Or maybe even a bit older. When I looked in the mirror this morning I thought that I looked old and tired and worn but SIXTY!

You know that feeling when you really, really hope something is going to happen but logically you know it never will?  )that is how I feel about tomorrow.
