P.S. We had our children late, and so for us the subtle drag of aging combines with the constant rejuvenating joy of helping two new humans find their way.

It was a blessing that my daughters could see me with my old friends, hear me speak in my mother tongue, see me interact in a way that echoes how I acted and spoke as a young man.

Old friends coming over. We know each other since school, decades ago. We last met 7 years ago.

At my stage in life, this means wrinkles and all sorts of rather visible changes to our bodies. Not incapacity, necessarily, but an annoying dominance of wear and tear, all over.

Old friends meet, each absorbs the shock of seeing what is happening to the other, each recognises that their friend has the same experience.

Also: the joy of complete trust when meeting those old friends. Laughing together about subtle references to events 50 years back. The affirmation of having done a few things right in our lives. The easy recognition of past mistakes. All is good now. We have left those grudges and embarrassments behind us.

My braised ox cheek, slow-cooked in the chicken stock that I had made especially for the occasion in the week before: a success. Enjoying simple things together, based on a half century of shared experiences, good and bad.

Good morning tooters. Late to 🐘 this morning as I was up at 6.15am & out of the door for an early morning walk by 6.30am which was just about dawn #Exercise. It was still warm & humid after the recent storms & the ground is still damp so I don’t have to water the garden, although I should check if anything needs harvesting. Back home just before 8am for my breakfast 🍳 ☕️.
It’s about 23c right now & bright & sunny outside, heading to a warm 34c which means I will need to close the blinds etc probably mid afternoon when the lowering sun belts in the back area & through my sliding glass door & window - where it gets very hot #Weather #AussieSummer.
I’m meeting a friend for lunch today, we’ve been trying to do this since before Christmas but one thing or another gets in the way. I’m really looking forward to it #OldFriends.
Wishing everyone a fabulous #Wednesday whatever you get up to. Hope it’s not too hot, nor too wet wherever you are - have a good one! #HumpDay.

A view of a portion of the Murray River where Wodonga creek flows into it, the water is very dark. A favourite spot for me. The river is surrounded by natives trees, shrubs & grasses & the sky is a bright clear blue
A group of ducks are standing in front I’d some eucalyptus trees & on leaf littered scrubby grass, the dark grey is the hurray River is behind them with more trees on the opposite bank.

A lyric–you know it–came to me as I walked along the trail this morning.

“Winter companions–lost in their overcoats waiting for the sunrise…
the sounds of the city sifting through the trees settle like dust on the shoulders of the old friends…
Can you imagine us years from today…
Sharing a park bench quietly?
How terribly strange to be seventy[ish].”

I’ve become pleasantly accustomed to all our old friends.

The image shows a cluster of orange-red mushrooms growing on the forest floor among pine needles, small green plants, and leaf litter. The mushrooms appear to be growing in a scattered pattern and have broad, rounded caps. The photo appears to be taken from a close-up perspective, showing the rich detail and texture of the forest ground cover.
This image shows a black-tailed deer (or possibly more) resting in a wooded area with bright green grass. The scene appears to be in a forest setting with Lace lichen hanging from trees, and there’s a notable light-colored tree trunk in the foreground. The deer appears to be lying down among some brush and vegetation.
The image shows a single light grayish-purple mushroom growing amid green grass. The mushroom has a thick stem and a rounded cap, and appears to be growing from dark soil visible between the grass blades. The image seems to be taken at ground level, providing a close-up view of the mushroom.
This image shows several shelves of fresh donuts in what appears to be a bakery display case. There are different varieties visible, including chocolate-glazed, plain glazed, and donuts with colorful sprinkles. The donuts are arranged on metal baking sheets, and there’s a red box of bakery tissue visible in the display case as well. The shelving appears to have a yellowish painted frame.
