1. I sound much younger on the phone, and folk who see me, despite the greying hair, remain surprised to learn I’m in my mid-40s. I still like to play, to have fun, and view the world as an adult only as far as I need to in order to live each day, work and pay the bills. Aside from that, my child-self can have fun. 🙂 ---
