If I manage to live around another 20 years, and I reach 100, what will life be like? My life will necessarily be even quieter and slower than it is now. Those around me will be gone or will definitely be 20 years older than they are now. Life for the rest of humanity will be different, too.

If Climate Change has cut Thanet off from the rest of the UK, I might still live here or I might have tried to move closer to Veronica – who will be almost 80 by then – or closer to Chloe who will be around 50. It would be nice if they lived near enough to visit me occasionally! Maybe I’ll have a jet propelled wheelchair that will take me where I want to go or, even better, maybe someone will have worked out the way to teleport (safely, of course!) As many people already know, I don’t like travel but I do like to go to other places.

You will have seen, I suppose, that this isn’t really a letter to myself at 100 – I will already know what has happened between now and then in my life, so this is a letter wondering if what I think might happen, has happened. This post is all getting very confusing, so I think I’ll stop and sign my letter!

Love, Me (at the age of almost 81) xxx
