Graceful ageing.......

The long holiday weekend ended worse than expected. There's this terrible Virus floating around. Sore throats and running noses, reminds me of this guy we had in college. He had a perpetual runny nose and a friend of mine used to call him Chief Running Nose, The Indian warrior!!!
I am digressing...The weather here in Doha is wonderful. Chilly, in the low 20s during the day and quite sunny. This is an unexpected bonus after our move from Abu Dhabi. The weather in AbuDhabi is not quite so cool in winter. It really is a lousy time to fall ill. Anyway, to get back to my virus,went to work on Thursday and came back early with a fistful of medicines. The evening was pleasant though. Slouching around in front of the TV with L and the kids.
Never used to get these cold /flu infections . Something like once in a couple of years. wonder whether the immunity is running down. Recent pictures taken in unguarded moments reveal an ageing that seems to have come on quite unexpectedly. Looks like it's downhill all the way from here!!
L parted her hair the other day and showed me streaks of grey. Seems she was quite surprised when she noticed it. Was in Dubai for a week early this month and the "Nathur" at my elder brother's apartment block mistook me for his elder brother. wasted a ten Dirham "Baksheesh" on the idiot...I guess I could go on and on!!
