Still in working order

 

Sexy older blokes

Who says being old means you're not hot? Just take a look at these two and repeat that!

Off-line

I've been off-line for a month or so, now.  I've been unwell (going for some more tests in 2 weeks' time); depressed; tired.  All that stuff.

Maybe the problem is simple: old age.  I'll be 64 in a few weeks.  And when I say "old age", I mean the way in which life wears us out.  The death of family and friends, of the little dogs we love.  The realisation that no matter how hard you try, ppl are still going to be bigoted and nasty.  The wear and tear of constantly struggling against debts and poverty.  My lady was saying how once we would have bounced back from adversity.  Ah, the resilience of youth!  Now, when things go wrong it's so hard to find the energy to get going again.

Maybe it's that I am unfit.  A desk job; too much wining and dining with clients, not enough exercise (because of sore knees).  On which principle, since I am now swimming 40 lengths (1 km) 3 or 4 times a week, things should improve!  We'll see.  At least I'm losing weight again.

So ... a picture of Venice, a city which fascinates me, which I've never visited, but which I hope to see, one day.

Old age hath yet his honour and his toil

Older bloke in speedos

Very nice.  Any time.

Bald can be beautiful!

Any time. So sexy!

Robson Green

This is a very handsome and sexy bloke.  I first saw him in Grantchester (which isn't too bad, and there is to be a new season this year.)  And it was love at first sight.  Well, calf love, perhaps, though one might suppose that I am a bit old for that.  My old reaction to sexy men: not so much desire as infatuation.  Do I ever learn?  Oh yes: admiration from afar, but nothing more.  My heart will never be broken again.

So often in the gay world, it is only the slim and young and beautiful who are desired.  But this bloke  might be 50, but he's handsome, manly .... and incredibly sexy.  Oh, and straight.  But he can't help that--he was born that way.

Handsome

A handsome older bloke. Wished I looked this handsome.

You don't have to be young ....

... to be handsome.

George Clooney

So you thought an older bloke couldn't be handsome?

Here's one who totally disproves that.  He is quite extraordinarily handsome and sexy, no?

So, we've come to the end of ....

... The Eagle or in its original Danish Ørnen

It's kept us entertained over many evenings.  So good.  Enthralling, convincing, sad, happy ... wonderful.  That such a small country can produce such superb film!  It puts Hollywood comprehensively to shame.

The lead is a bloke called Jens Albinus, a craggy, skinny utterly sexy and desirable man.  

Here's a pic.  

Sigh.
