The realisation you're getting old

[welsh dragon]

Now when you bend down to pick something up you think what else can I do whilst I'm down here?

Or, what the hell am I doing down here..I cant remember

Here are the rolling green fields that I played in during my early childhood in Kenilworth ...

Can't like that.

The "turning circle" with the entrance to a petrol station over the road and the field alongside the river being a football pitch.

Of course the cruelest trick that nature plays, is letting you still feel young in your head...... your body wont play ball with that at all. It likes to give you pain, make stuff stop working and add stuff you dont want.

Such as, we need to be told.

The little saplings planted in the park behind our house in about 1995 are now all taller than our house.
It means we loose about 2 hours of sunshine every day!

Many years ago, looking in the mirror one morning and wondering who's the old fella looking back, then realizing its me.

Well it likes to remove hair from your head, but kindly add more hair to your nose, ears and eyebrows.

Mind you, at least us blokes only have eyebrow problems when we're older. Women seem to have them when they're younger. They pluck them off, then draw them back on again.... often in frighteningly hideous ways.
WTF is that all about.

Not yet, maybe when I reach my 70's. Who knows what point the decrepitude comes on?

Quote from some bloke I follow on Twitter.
On this day in 1985, it was Live Aid. Including all the ones that are dead, every single performer - including the Beach Boys - are younger than I am now.
Me too. I didn't watch it cos my family were moving house that day and the telly was in transit .
How was this 34 years ago

There's chronologically old, physically old, mentally old. So far only the first for me. Perhaps others are mourning the possibilities or chances they haven't taken. But it's never too late to change direction or take those chances.

I often think that what is taken to be old age is the effects of being less active as time goes on. I plan to be as active as I've always been till the Universe says "I give up!"
