He was expecting £10. Sign of getting old is still thinking £2 is enough for a tip.

Sign of getting old is still using "cash".
I know I am old, but my kids have made me open an "Uber" account and payment is automatically taken!

Yeah. But then you turn up at the hospital A&E to find it’s a cash only pay and display. You’ve got virtually no cash and completely no idea how long you’re going to be…

Funny you should say that, I was on my way to A&E. I had the choice of getting a taxi or waiting several hours for an ambulance.

When I was a kid we had an old black phone that made us jump when it rang.
Never posh enough for a trimphone 😬 although all the kids at school had them ☹️
I was a bought one while back but Mr M refuses to plug it in as it scares us both when it rings. 🤣

I get sciatica...and a couple of days ago realised i had to keep moving which seems to help jiggle the spine back where it should be...So tentatively totter outside on a knife edge of pain avoidance...50 yrds, 100 yrds, 200 yrds incremental improvements as i go. After a half mile i can stand up straight and not look like a penguin thats just **** himself....another mile and arrive back home in sore but better condition. Then i discover my front door is sticking and if i apply pressure to push on it lightening bolts of pain shoot down my spine, i try different angles and pushing positions each millimetre gained costing hair whitening pain 
eventually it opens and i lie down flat on the floor for some respite. Bowl of cherries this aging thing....

Meeting my partner‘s cousins at a family funeral and realising that some of their kids are the same age I was when I first met them.

Some folks refer to our street as Gods waiting room!
All bungalows and in much demand.
Three houses sold recently and snapped up within a week or less.
We’re the “youngsters” though as bought the house in our 20’s.
Seen many lovely neighbours come and (sadly) go.
Appreciate great neighbours while you have them 💕

We also live in a street mainly of bungalows (we live in one of the few houses) and we are the "old" neighbours having lived in the street longer than all but one neighbour.
In the past ten years or so as the bungalows are sold all are converted into large two storey houses with smaller gardens so that pretty soon we will be a street of houses with a few or no bungalows.
