You know you're getting old and boring when...
...your TV dies and you go and buy a Scrabble set to replace it while your Dad "has a look at it" (Dad's an ex-electrical engineer, so there is actually half a chance he's got the necessary spare widget that we've blown in the garage at home somewhere).
Seriously, we're at home with no TV and the best at home entertainment we come up with is Scrabble (having already exhausted the reasonable amount of time one can spend in a Jacuzzi when the outside temp is bloody cold). Which I've discovered I suck at. Not the coming up with words, but remembering to place them strategically on the board to get high scores. I find making interesting words more fun than boring high scoring words, but I'm also competitive enough that I don't like always losing to the CPD.
And I scored a punchbowl set at the tip for free, which I was very excited about and adds further evidence to the case that I am in fact old and boring.
Punchbowls and Scrabble...next thing you know it will be tea cosies, quilts and model trains. Retirement village, here I come!
