The realisation you're getting old

[Cuchilo]

I was cycling along the river in Richmond when i stopped at an old fishing spot i used to go to when i was 9 . I realised that i was 9 40 years ago

You realise you are getting old when you think of the friends who have gone before you.

Yet you are still riding every day for enjoyment

Yes, but you're just a youngster yet.

I haven’t noticed, but then I don’t make a habit of collapsing on pub floors looking up at the ceiling. .

940 years ago? You are Methuselah and I claim my £5.

No, rubbish at punctuation. Amounts to the same

Another observation on getting older:

You take a nice long ride, and instead of going for a nice cold brew as a reward as when you were younger, having given up all alcohol decades ago, you just have yourself a glass of water and perhaps an ibuprofen. It may help your sore body feel a bit better, but it sure isn’t as refreshing or rewarding!

Splash out on bottle of Vimto squash. Great for the special celebratory moments.

Sounds tasty, fruit & spices. But here in the States G, it goes for $20, at least on Amazon. Too expensive for a water flavor mix. However, if I come accross it locally for less, I'll give it a try. Always up for trying a new bevy.

Periods of your life in the past that were SO important and formative were in fact SO short.
