- Noticing a habit, ache, forgotten name, changed preference or sudden interest in comfort.
- Specific detail to use
- Reaching for reading glasses before pretending the lighting is the problem.
- Discomfort or tension
- The awkwardness is that the signs are ordinary, but they still feel like evidence.
- Why it fits I Said
- This suits I Said because it can stay plain, dry and unsentimental about ageing.
- Output direction
- Five small observations, no grand conclusion and no attempt to make ageing sound noble.
