136. When I am an old woman

actually it is one of my favourite colours. I am leaning against one of two chairs I once bought. They are purple velvet. i love them. My OH hates them. i suspect when we move to our final (smaller) home, there will be an argument. Which i will win.

 

I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired,

And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells,

And run my stick along the public railings

And make up for the sobriety of my youth.

 

(i think I am nearly there now....)

 

For WAH who are celebrating all things purple
