in the words of that well-known song ' three wheels on my wagon, and i'm still rolling along ...'

you know how you have those days where you feel really old, all of a sudden?
i had one of those this morning.
i felt ... oh ... at least thirty (cough cough) ...

i had, in no particular order,

toothache
backache
gutache

and monday morning at work ache.

then i got to work and saw one of my colleagues, who it has to be said, is not known for her beauty or charm, and i realised i had a lot to be thankful for -

i didn't have face ache.

i'm much better now, thank you. 
though i have got a little twinge in the gluteus area.
which means i've probably got arse ache now.
