Ricky Koole
She talks about her teenage son, who no longer has any time for her, while her parents need more and more attention. Meanwhile she doesn’t know whether she can still flirt with younger men, because she isn’t sure whether she’s old or not. She thinks she is.
Ricky keenly observes her surroundings and herself. Has the world gone mad, or is she just going through a strange phase? Friends say: ’you’re at an awkward age, that’s all it is. It’s only temporary.’
She had hoped that at this point in her life she would finally feel she had achieved something. That she would be walking around cheering, free of other people’s opinions. What always helps, though, is singing. So she sings the loveliest songs like a young blackbird.
