As most of you know, I am partially sighted these days, so maybe it’s just me, but I strongly suspect that the fully sighted might also agree. I am having increasing difficulty in telling a lot of the people on my Facebook feed of a certain age apart. This is because they’re all getting the same lip jobs, the same botox, same makeup and the same lashes as everyone else. I actually have to look at their names sometimes. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? And should I put a foil-wrapped cucumber into my spandex pants? ---

Don’t forget the filters, there are many an old craggly using the polyfilla app to make them look as smoooooooooooooth and wrinkleless as a freshly laid egg. ---

I will admit to a moisturising regime, the alternative is too frightening to contemplate. 😱 I am, after all a public figure. ---
