| elderflowers |
I spotted some elderberry bushes on a walk and noticed some of them were in flower, so here they are, the elderflowers. These are very topical, thinking of the recent Royal Wedding.
Needing to refill a prescription, I went to the pharmacy. I mentioned to the pharmacist that he seemed to have a lot of new people working there lately. He said it's the summertime and he hires a lot of students for internships. I said they seem to be getting younger every year to which he replied that he didn't know if it was them getting younger or him getting older. Chuckling, I said 'let's leave it right there and go no further with that thought'.
Yes, I notice people in shops etc are looking younger all the time! Have a lovely day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI like that exchange between you and your pharmacist, two people with a great sense of humor. Pretty elderberry plant. Don’t they make wine out of elderberries?
ReplyDeleteWe get older so automatically the young folk looks even more younger with the year...lol!
ReplyDeleteI use to enjoy battered elder blossoms now. This is extremely delicious!
Happy Thursday!
Hugs, Susi
HAHA! I feel the same way. Although I think I'M the one getting older :)
ReplyDeletelol,, I agree !!!
ReplyDeleteHAHA...that type of conversation has been coming up lately among folks I see that are my age. This yr the group I graduated with have turned 58. Wow....heading on to 60 at a fast speed. Went to the 100 yr old bday of Old Hickory last weekend and ran into lots of folks I went to school with, and this topic came up then! But on the flip side, looking at folks that were almost 60 when I was a kid, they appear to look older. I think we are rocking it at this age!
ReplyDeleteYay Pam
Deletei enjoyed your conversation with pharmacist dear Christine!
ReplyDeletelove this Christine ♡♡♡
ReplyDeleteKnow exactly what you are talking about.
ReplyDeleteMy cousin's son is getting a doctorate in pharmacy. My sister in law was a pharmacist, working in a hospital where she made chemo for children with cancer. Pharmacists are paid very well, over $130,000 per year.
ReplyDeleteand my pharmacist owns the place and employs a lot of pharmacists so you can imagine.
DeleteAbout age - I am at the age where I find it really hard to guess someone's age who is younger than I... I wonder if we have elderberry bushes around here - the bush looks familiar. I'll google it to see if they are in our mountains.
ReplyDeleteImagine a middle school phram intern... not so good
ReplyDeleteOur new doctor is younger than our daughter. As we age, though, we really want younger, smarter medical people who will be around for a long time to take care of us. I have now outlived 3 doctors.
ReplyDeletegood point Delaine
DeleteI've not had them fresh before but have had them in jam, I believe but not for sure. It might have been currant. I can't recall for sure.
ReplyDeletenever had elderberries/flowers even tho it seems to be in a lot of food here
ReplyDeleteyou are only as old as you fell, not how old you look (but sometimes I do feel pretty damn old lol :p
I believe you are a lot younger than me!
Deletepossibly lol :) but the saying does still apply :)
DeleteHeh.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty bush. I do love elderflower cordial!
ReplyDeleteYour pharmacist has an excellent sense of humour. Beautiful bush. I love elderflower wine.
