11 June 2009 - What happened!!? - The camera can be candidly, uncompromisingly revealing and life's trials leave their tell-tale marks so visibly on the face don't they - but why do they seem to multiply exponentially from your late sixties onwards??? Can someone explain please? Being male means you don't slap on the smoothing cream (and being a Christian means you can't tell yourself "You're worth it!" as that TV advert tells women to encourage them to use the anti-wrinkle lotions) - So I remain creased and crinkled, lined and lacerated, weathered, warty and worn; grey and almost bald. And no - I'm not in pain - it's just that there are two teeth missing from the denture till I get them fixed, so I daren't laugh, and even smiling is risky ! - The only redeeming feature is the tan! - thank God for the Charentaise sunshine!
