Why would I worry about getting older - what's to moan about?

Why would I worry about getting older - what's to moan about?

I've chosen to stay in a jolly place for most of my life, and that is a lot of who I am.

I am a rubbish flirt.

Young people need their own private places which mothers don't belong to, even if they want mother all around the edge of that.

I have turned away from the thought of writing fiction in the past through what I suppose is, actually, fear. The direct, raw invitation for the reader to come in and explore my imagination is fairly scary for me so I have busied myself with so much else.

I've often said the most difficult things I have to say to people through humour. I can very quickly put someone in their place with it. But we all walk away unscathed because there's been some funnies around it, and I'll usually make sure that it comes back at me.
