As I get old I walk around fretting
wondering what it is I’m forgetting.
Women and wine are all the rage
but only wine improves with age.

Oh lol, good writes and pic M. Miss Berles forgot?
Can't remember - sorry - who are you?
So very true in the first one.
I agree that wine improves with age but my beloved improved with age until she was taken from me.

All a bit tongue in cheek and similarly my wife is as great now as the day I met her some 58 years ago.
Amazing art work Michael . Is it aged or did you create that?
Andy
Actually its the the third laugh - I'm taking the p**s a bit here so please forgive me
It's a close up of the towel I use to protect the work-top in the studio when I'm painting in more messy styles. At the top is where I painted with fluid paint which flooded over the towel and when it dried it created this great crazed pattern but I guess it takes an artist or an art lover to spot the potential. What you might call 'found art'.
I like it Michael
Close to the knuckle but I like it
You and me both Andrew - and I do love my wine. Oops - yes and my wife bless her.
BRIAN HERE ~ Good Sunday Uncle Mike ~ Love both *Aging Couplets* but Brian & I still operate in the land of the *here & now* so our Memories & Minds have to be finely honed. We do all the PUZZLES in the *I* (good newspaper) and read Foreign Magazines etc. As to the second one Papa tells me that Rioja does age well but should be consumed on the day it is opened ! They sell more that way ! As far as Wives are concerned - Brian tells me he loves me more & more each Month as our Marriage progresses and he is improving too - say no more !
AS far as the *Painting* is concerned - yes it could be a *Painting Rag* (spoil sport !) but initially it did remind me of some of Georgia O*Keefes Paintings of *New Mexico Geology !*. Especially the lower half !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela - Brian - Smokey XOXOX
Yes I love GO'Ks work and the 'I' is always a good buy - simply the news that matters in a straightforward way and no celebrity rubbish.
I see blue skies with some sun peeking through over a mountain range and a small river - And it turns out to be a towel!? Egad, what am I forgetting, or is it just too much wine I've been drinking. If you keep the towel long enough does it turn into the "Mona Lisa?" Aging beautifully. - Phil A.
Ageing requires an E in Standard English - only the Yanks spell it without!
You are right about older women though.
And wine.
You are so right - I feel ashamed - why didn't I spot this - will correct it straight away - thanks Barry.
I hope you'll do the correction for the whole series. We Brits MUST keep up standards in spelling, or do I mean speling?????
Still smarting from this and I'm the one who always complains when I see advisor instead of adviser and get annoyed when Americans refer to my accent. I'm English we Brits invented the language (albeit stealing bits from everywhere), I speak English (RP) - I don't have an accent.
Let us celebrate being upper class together, Michael, mon brave! My personal (mis)spelling hates are program, theater, pedophilie , offense, defense and meter (unless you mean an electric one).
Kindred spirits !!
Forgot to mention some of their expressions - like Guys for mixed company. Guys are men ...!!
And then there's the misuse of English by the English themselves - she was sat - grrr - she was sitting !!!
And I could go on and on...!
I was sat!!!!!!
Another horror, like, innit, I gotta go and when u gotta go, ya gotta, like.
