We were once out out, now it's lights out before nine

You'd think, wouldn't you, that with the kids grown and flown, me and The Boss would revert back to our 1990s social butterfly days and be out every other night painting the town 50 shades of beige.

The thing is, and it's quite hard to believe, but the 1990s finished almost 26 years ago now and the clothes we wore and records that soundtracked our carefree days are now seen as vintage by people today who are well into their 30s. If anything, now that the clocks have gone back and it feels like it goes dark in the middle of the afternoon, hibernation until early April 2026 sounds like a prudent option.
