Old.

I am aware of a tiring, of sorts. With LJ, among other things

Yep, I slipped and broke my wrist last year and it's turned me in to a right old woman in the snow, which I find more annoying than the actual snow. I also worry about eating after 8 o'clock.

and you don't want to be out after dark, it's practically asking to be murderereded,

No need to drive in the snow! Just take advantage of your OAP discount on public transport, it's what it's there for.

*runs*

Also, last year I bought slip-on crampons for the snow. They are a set of pointy metal studs held by a rubber contraption that goes over your normal outdoor shoes, and allows you to happily caper on the snowy streets as if you were still a sprightly 50 year old. Wonderful things. They take twenty years off your gait for just a few quid!

but i still have to get *to* the bus stop to use my OAP bus pass!

(I have slip on crampons, but the ice was just slightly too thin to make them viable this time; but thick enough to slip and break every bone in my body)

Well, if the ice won't cooperate then it's no good, is it. I should complain to the council in a case like this. Thicker ice you incompetent nincompoops! How you ever got elected to office I'll never know. It wasn't like this in my day, let me tell you! etc.
